Abstract
It is crucial to hold the responsible parties accountable for the damage caused by oil pollution, compensate the victims, and restore the marine environment. However, the current amount of compensation is insignificant, and most oil spills occurring in Vietnam’s maritime zones have not been compensated or are in the process of settlement. Several factors, especially legal issues, may contribute to this situation. This article analyzes Vietnam’s legal framework for claiming compensation for damage caused by oil spills in the sea. It examines the limitations and obstacles in Vietnam’s legal system from the perspective of protecting the rights of the victims of oil pollution and the interests of the ocean. It also puts forward relevant legal suggestions, which are expected to make valuable contributions to improving the compensation system for oil pollution damage in Vietnam and promoting the governance of the marine environment.
