حماية البيئة البحرية من التلوث الناجم عن السفن في ضوء القواعد الدولية المتعلقة بالمساعدة و الإنقاذ في البحر

Abstract EN

Maritime assistance is defined as the aid or relief, given by one ship to another ship in danger of perishing at sea.

Danger is the essential element of maritime assistance, so there is no room for applying the provisions of maritime assistance, in the case in which aid is provided to a maritime facility that is not at risk, knowing that the provider of assistance does not deserve any reward, unless his efforts to rescue the stricken ship result in a beneficial result.

The issue of protecting the marine environment from pollution from ships is among the main concerns of the international community in the modern era, because of the dire consequences of this dangerous form of marine pollution on living resources and human health.

And the study of the international rules related to assistance and rescue at sea, notes that the traditional rules emanating from the agreement concluded in 1910 completely neglected the requirements of protecting the marine environment from the risks of pollution from ships, while the new rules emanating from the agreement concluded in 1989, took this preoccupation into account and gave it special importance.
