THIS RESEARCH NOTE LOOKS AT THE PROBLEMS ARISING FROM THE DISCOVERY OF NEW INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS AND THE INABILITY OF EXISTING INSTITUTIONS TO DEAL WITH THEM. THE EXAMPLE CHOSEN IS THE DISCOVERY THAT EMISSIONS FROM SHIP SOURCES CONTRIBUTE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE PHENOMENON OF ACID RAIN, ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH-EAST ATLANTIC REGION. SHIP-SOURCE EMISSIONS DO NOT EMANATE FROM LAND TERRITORIES AND ARE THUS DIFFICULT TO REGULATE. THE PROBLEM IS STUDIED FROM THE PERSPECTIVES OF INTERNATIONAL LAW AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS.
