Protocol to amend the Paris Convention on Nuclear Third Party Liability
The 2004 Protocol to amend the Paris Convention on Nuclear Third Party Liability seeks to address a number of key issues concerning the original Paris Convention that is designed to ensure that victims of nuclear damage are fairly compensated. Foremost amongst the amendments is a significant increase in the amount a civil operator is liable to pay, with the new limit being set at no less than 700 million Euros. In addition to a number of revisions for the amounts of basic liability, transport, and low risk installations, from 15 million for basic liability and 5 million special drawing rights for transport and low risk installations to 700, 80 and 70 million Euros respectively, compensation will be granted for a wider range of damages. Amongst these include economic damage due to an impaired environment and extra costs to establish preventive measures. Under the protocol to amend victims are also granted up to thirty years to apply for compensation instead of the original ten years in the original Paris Convention. Finally, the 2004 protocol to amend recognises that coastal states have the right to deal with cases of nuclear damage if such an event occurs in a State Party’s exclusive economic zone.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

The non-conventional weapons category comprises various regimes that prohibit possession or the use of weapons which are believed to be unfit for “normal” conventional warfare. This cluster includes a set of regimes usually branded under single rubrics – chemical, biological and nuclear/radiological weapons (CBRN), or weapons of mass destruction by an alternative wording. While destructiveness of many non-conventional weapons can be – at least partially, matched by certain “conventional weapons” they form distinctive category due to a limited record of their use followed by their normative, widely accepted stigmatization and tabooization.
