Ship recycling conserves resources, employs an unskilled workforce, and removes outdated
tonnage. Operating mainly on the Indian subcontinent, this ‘primitive’ industry often
results in loss of human life and pollution of the marine environment. Despite moral
indignation, the international community has struggled to manage this industry and only
recently completed the IMO International Convention for the Safe and Environmentally
Sound Recycling of Ships. Using the Indian experience on shipbreaking as a case study, this
book assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the Convention. The author argues that the
Convention may not succeed because it fails to strike a balance between environmental
protection, human rights, and commercial realities. The book offers recommendations for a
holistic and integrated approach to a sustainable ship recycling industry.

Readership: This book will be useful to practitioners and policy makers, as well as the
academic community, with an interest in human rights, environmental and maritime law.

Tony George Puthucherril, LL.M. (Dalhousie) M.Phil (NUJS, India), was an Assistant
Professor at the National Judicial Academy, India. Presently a J.S.D. candidate at Dalhousie
University, Halifax, Canada, he has written on environmental, water, marine and nuclear
legal and policy issues.
