COMPENSATION IN INTERNATIONAL LAW

of the International Tribunal for Law of the Sea. Additionally attention is given to

legal issues such as the distinction between liability for lawful state conduct and state

responsibility reflected in the legal regime of the Convention of the Law of the Sea.

Another interesting issue is is the subject legally entitled for a reparation (ship owner

or state of the flag of the ship). The cases of

M/V Saiga

and

Corfu Channel

are further

analysed. Although not primarily a reparation, the author reflects on calculation of

bail or financial guarantee as an useful analogy for calculating indemnification.

Summary and recommendations

The end of the publication provides concluding remarks about the results of the

Specific University Research project concerning the relationship of a non-state actor

claiming reparation from a state entity in the sphere of international public law.

Interestingly, the conclusion of the publication does not end entirely by stating

clear answers; on the other hand, it provides the reader with more concrete questions

which can provide impetus for future research into the field of indemnification in

international public law.

The sources cited are comprised of abundant foreign literature and remarks by

authors from Czech academia.

As a whole, publication provides overview of indemnification with its different

approaches in special regimes of international public law.
