| BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW Call for papers Vol. 20. No. 3. 2023 Oil spill Prevention and Response: national, international, and comparative perspectives SPECIAL ISSUE The Brazilian Journal of International Law invites submissions for a special issue on “Oil spill Prevention and Response: national, international and comparative perspectives” to be published in December 2023. The issue will be edited by Professors Carina Oliveira (UnB, Brasil), Nengye Liu (Singapore Management University), Teresa Fajardo (Universidad de Granada) and Daniela Diz (Heriot-Watt University). In 2019, a huge oil spill occurred in sea areas under Brazilian Jurisdiction. In 2021, the Brazilian police office identified that a Greek ship was probably responsible for the spill when it was crossing international waters more or less 700 nautical miles far from Brazilian coastal line. So far, no individual and/or collective compensation was made for victims such as fishermen, tourism companies and municipalities. This catastrophe raised many questions including one related to the prevention and the reparation of damages. In the backdrop of 2019 Northeast Brazil Oil Spill, this Call aims to look into innovative solutions for addressing environmental, social and economic issues caused by accidental oil spills caused by ships from an international, national and comparative perspective. The call is open to papers examining a variety of civil, administrative, criminal and international legal issues regarding oil spills, such as: 1)Prevention and reparation of vessel-source pollution; 2)Safety management of offshore oil and gas operations; 3)Assessing economic loss caused by oil spill disasters; 4)Ecologic compensation in case of oil spill disasters; 5)Area Based Management Tools (including Marine Protected Areas, other effective area-based conservation measures and Marine spatial planning). Empirically-informed case studies, theoretical contributions and papers embracing interdisciplinarity are equally encouraged. • THE JOURNAL The Brazilian Journal of International Law is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal which publishes three issues per year.
