Pappas, Fay
- Abstract
The article focuses on the impacts of the 1989 Exxon Valdez Oil Spill in Alaska and the 2010 British Petroleum PLC Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico on the people and communities in the Gulf Coast. It differentiates the natural and technological disasters and analyzes the legal implications of the U.S. Supreme Court judgment in Exxon Shipping Co. v. Baker. It further identifies the reasons for the inefficiency of the existing legislations and policies relevant to post-disaster settlements.
