ABSTRACTC. Wilfried Jenks points out in his introduction that there are a growing number of exceptions to the principle that liability under international law is solely based on fault. Are these exceptions considered as anomalies or indicative of a modification of the principle? C. Wilfried Jenks attempts to answer to the questions in his course, by successively studying the aviation hazards, pollution, nuclear hazards, space hazards, Earth boring, environmental changes, electronics and cybernetics, biological experiments, and the elements of liability. In conclusion, the author raises the question of the need for a declaration on the legal principles concerning ultra-hazardous liability.
C. Wilfried Jenks relève en introduction de son cours qu'il existe un nombre croissant d'exceptions au principe selon lequel la responsabilité en droit international repose uniquement sur la faute. Cette exception sont-elles des anomalies ou sont-elles annonciatrices d'une modification du principe ? C'est à cette question que C. Wilfried Jenks s'attache à répondre dans son cours, en étudiant successivement les risques aériens, la pollution, les risques nucléaires, les risques spatiaux, les forages, les changements environnementaux, l'électronique et la cybernétique, les expériences biologiques, les éléments de la responsabilité. En conclusion, l'auteur pose la question de la nécessité d'une déclaration relative aux principes juridiques relatifs à la responsabilité du fait des risques majeurs.
