About this statute

This provision is the preamble to Law 523 of 1999, which states that Colombia approves two 1992 Protocols amending international conventions on liability and compensation for damage caused by oil pollution. Este artículo define el convenio base y aclara cómo debe entenderse su nombre en relación con el Protocolo de 1976. This article amends definitions in the 1969 Civil Liability Convention, including “ship,” “hydrocarbons,” pollution damage, “incident,” “Organization,” and the 1969 Convention itself. This article replaces Article 2 of the 1969 Civil Liability Convention and limits the Convention’s application to pollution damage in specified marine areas, plus preventive measures taken to avoid or reduce that damage. Este artículo modifica una regla sobre responsabilidad civil por contaminación del buque y limita contra quién pueden presentarse reclamaciones de indemnización.
