What is Trail Smelter Dispute: US-Canada Arbitration about?
The Trail Smelter case established that no state has the right to cause environmental harm in another state. A tribunal ruled that Canada was responsible for pollution from a smelter that damaged land in Washington state. The tribunal ordered Canada to pay damages and establish measures to control pollution. This established the principle that states must prevent transboundary pollution and established that international law applies to resolving disputes over cross-border environmental damage.
