Description 529-539
Pakistan presents an interesting picture as it brings distinctive constraints in developing efficient marine oil pollution mechanisms to response marine oil pollution infrastructure among developing countries. The country has been quite proactive in ratifying the IMO instruments concerning marine oil pollution and even it has been quite slow to take steps to implement these measures in national domain. This article, with a brief focus on international and regional legal initiatives on marine pollution, considers the existing municipal legal framework of Pakistan to handle the issue. It has been revealed that the issue of marine pollution is not considered seriously by Pakistan yet and the existing domestic laws are mostly insufficient and leniently implemented.
