Summary of provisions: The damage must originate beyond the coastal low-water line of a State Party, and be suffered in the territory, including the internal and territorial waters, of such a State, or in the areas in which it has sovereign rights over natural resources (art. 2). Liability rests on the operator of the installation from which such damage originates and extends five years after the abandonment of such installation as defined by the Convention (art. 3). The operator is to be exonerated, wholly or in part, if he can prove the damage was caused by an act or omission of the victim with the intent to cause damage, or by the victim s negligence. Liability of the operator is limited for each installation and each incident, unless damage caused by deliberate act of the operator himself (art. 6). Parties that are operators of a polluting installation undertake to waive all defences based on sovereignty (art. 13).
