The symposium was held in Monaco on 7-11 October 1968. It discussed the third party liability rules deriving from maritime and nuclear conventions, as well as the practical positions as regards the maritime carriage of nuclear substances and their conditions of insurance, in order to review the various questions raised by the application of the legal system. Practical measures were also discussed with a view to improving or even completing the legal system applicable to such carriage, and facilitating the insurance thereof.
The proceedings of the symposium include a synoptic report on the problems dealt with in the papers and during the discussions.
