Reviews
“This very interesting work, in my view, constitutes an important contribution to critical scholarship in an emerging issue area. The author’s perspective, which includes an evaluation of the nascent IMO Convention on Ship Recycling and an extensive consideration of the potential role of the Indian Constitutional Court, is especially original and useful.”

"Given . . . the fact that ship-breaking is an area that is not properly understood, this book — published as part of the series, “Legal aspects of sustainable development” edited by David Freestone — is a welcome addition to the literature on the subject. Puthucherril spells out the principles of the Basel convention, taking pains to draw relevant quotes from a wide range of sources on the consequence of hazardous waste disposal in all its varied aspects. In logically arranged chapters, the book discusses in depth the ship-breaking business, the limitations of a national response, the contemporary international law on ship-recycling and so on."
