Liability Convention

The Liability Convention is an international agreement that establishes how countries should handle damages caused by nuclear accidents. It sets out responsibilities for the country where the accident occurs, including limits on the amount of compensation and the legal procedures for injured parties to seek redress. The goal is to ensure that victims receive fair compensation efficiently, while also maintaining a clear framework for cross-border liability. Overall, it promotes accountability and safety in the use of nuclear energy by providing a standardized approach to addressing potential nuclear damage.
