Description
Book SynopsisThis book examines liability laws as they relate to terrorism-related damage. For instance, to what extent are facility operators, governments and security firms in Europe exposed to liability for terrorism-related damage? Furthermore, this book analyzes the policy question of whether legislative measures are necessary.
