Book SynopsisThe contributors to Blue Legalities attend to the seas as a legally and politically conflicted space to analyze the conflicts that emerge where systems of governance interact with complex geophysical, ecological, economic, biological, and technological processes.Trade Review“Not a minute too early, the ‘blue turn’ finally takes pride of place in legal thinking. Blue Legalities balances the legal and the liquid in all their emanations. The contributions span from the oceanic depths of our planet to the glimmering surface of our limited comprehension, combining in an undeniably poetic whole, law, politics, science, anthropology, history, and philosophy amongst other epistemes. The feat of this book is diving headlong in the fathomless challenge of treating the material and the textual as one ontological ripple.” -- Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos, author of * Spatial Justice: Body, Lawscape, Atmosphere *“Elisabeth Mann Borgese, one of the architects of the first Law of the Sea conference, argued that any approach to the ocean must be inherently interdisciplinary. Irus Braverman and Elizabeth R. Johnson have fulfilled this claim with a wonderful interdisciplinary collection. Plumbing the depths of human and more-than-human life and law at sea, this volume is a welcome and timely contribution to the field of critical ocean studies.” -- Elizabeth M.

Book SynopsisJurisdiction and Arbitration Agreements in Contracts for the Carriage of Goods by Sea focuses on party autonomy and its limitations in relation to jurisdiction and arbitration clauses included in contracts for the carriage of goods by sea in case of any cargo dispute. The author takes the perspective of the shipping companies and the shipowners, as these are the driving forces of the shipping industry due to their strategic importance.The book provides an analysis of the existing law on the recognition and validity of jurisdiction and arbitration clauses in the contracts for the carriage of goods by sea. The author also seeks to provide conclusions and to learn lessons for the future of the non-recognition and the non-enforcement of the clauses in the existing fragmented legal framework at an international, European Union, and national level (England & Wales and Spain). The interface between the different legal regimes reveals the lack of international harmonisation and the Table of ContentsPART I – PRELIMINARIES Chapter 1 Introduction PART II – JURISDICTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENTS IN CONTRACTS FOR THE CARRIAGE OF GOODS BY SEA Chapter 2 International jurisdiction and arbitration Chapter 3: Incorporation of the dispute resolution clauses contained in the charter party into the bill of lading PART III – LIMITATIONS ON JURISDICTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENTS IN MARITIME CARGO CLAIMS Chapter 4 Limitations on jurisdiction and arbitration agreements in case of cargo claims in tort and in bailment PART IV – LIMITATIONS ON JURISDICTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENTS BY THE ARREST OF SHIPS AND MANDATORY RULES Chapter 5 Party autonomy and the arrest of ships Chapter 6 Limitations on jurisdiction and arbitration clauses by public policy, mandatory rules and overriding mandatory rules in contracts for the carriage of goods by sea PART V – FINAL ANALYSIS Chapter 7 Conclusions and a new Perspective ANNEX I: Bibliography

Book SynopsisThe objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the legal basis, under international law and the relevant regional legal frameworks, for the establishment and further development of area-based conservation tools in the Mediterranean Sea, with a particular emphasis placed on the transboundary area-based conservation instruments available for the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. Specifically, the aim is to identify and analyze the concepts and functioning of both marine protected areas (MPAs), as traditional area-based tools enabling marine habitat and species conservation, and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs), as a more recent addition to the picture. Further, with a view to providing responses to the complex set of challenges raised by the variety of tools and levels of intervention, conclusions and ways forward are provided that identify practical implementation instruments through which a truly transboundary perspective may guTable of ContentsForeword Preface Acknowledgements List of abbreviations and acronyms List of figures List of contributorsCHAPTER 1 Mitja Grbec and Tullio Scovazzi THE ADRIATIC AND IONIAN SEAS AS PART OF THE WIDER MEDITERRANEAN SEA 1.1.

Book SynopsisExploring everything from contemporary challenges to ocean security this book offers detailed insights into the increasing activities of state and non-state actors at sea. Chapters revisit the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC), highlighting how not all maritime security threats can be addressed by this, and further looking at the ways in which the LOSC may even hinder maritime security. Featuring contributions from both expert academics and practitioners in the field, the book explores new maritime security threats posed by non-state actors, such as piracy and illegal fishing. It analyses how states have had to reconsider their understanding of maritime security and rethink the use and protection of their maritime domain in the face of modern challenges, including the robotics revolution, the rise of unmanned systems and the blue economy agenda. Providing a comprehensive analysis of the interplay between LOSC and maritime security, this is key reading for scholars of maritime law, international relations and security studies. Practitioners working in the shipping industry or fishing sector, as well as maritime law enforcement officials will benefit from the practical advice offered. 'There is increasing agreement maritime security is important, but there is still disagreement about what that implies or even what the term means. This book is a timely intervention in the debate by leading thinkers in the field. Maritime security scholars and practitioners will find it an indispensable reference.' - Douglas Guilfoyle, University of New South Wales Canberra, Australia Contributors include: R. Barnes, C. Bueger, K. Chadwick, T. Edmunds, S. Kopela, A. Murdoch, A. Petrig, V. Roeben, M. Rosello, K. ZouTrade Review‘This book critically raises the visibility of the need for States and international organizations to comply with UNCLOS when addressing their deepening and interconnected maritime security concerns. This book makes a significant contribution to the literature in the process. A worthy addition to any bookshelf, this book should remain relevant for years to come.’ -- Arron N Honniball, Ocean Yearbook'The interplay between maritime security and the law of the sea has emerged as both an important and challenging issue. This volume explores this issue through a series of timely contributions by leading scholars and practitioners in the field and is expected to make a valid contribution to the scholarship on maritime security.' --Efthymios Papastavridis, University of Oxford, UK'Maritime Security and the Law of the Sea: Help or Hindrance? provides important insights into cutting-edge maritime security issues and whether the law of the sea is still fit for purpose. The diverse topics addressed will hold considerable interest for all stakeholders working in maritime security.' --Natalie Klein, University of New South Wales, Australia'This timely and important volume makes a significant contribution to the literature on both maritime security and the 1982 LOS Treaty. The editors and contributors have convincingly demonstrated that issues of maritime security pose serious challenges for the international community and to the legal regime established in the LOS Treaty.' --Robert Beckman, National University of Singapore‘There is increasing agreement maritime security is important, but there is still disagreement about what that implies or even what the term means.

Book SynopsisThe purpose of the legislation discussed in chapter 1 is to do the following: support national defense and the United States Merchant Marine by authorizing the Maritime Administration (MARAD) for fiscal year (FY) 2019, including the National Security Multi-Mission Vessel Program; implement Department of Transportation (DOT) Office of Inspector General (OIG) recommendations to improve protections and incident reporting related to sexual assault and harassment; improve merchant mariner training for cadets by providing additional opportunities for on-the-job experience via the Sea Year program and by supporting State Maritime Academy training vessels; and create new opportunities for domestic ship recycling by streamlining the import process. Chapter 2 discusses the National Marine Sanctuary Act, which grants the Secretary of Commerce the authority to designate areas of additional restriction and management over areas in Americas oceans and Great Lakes and their unique conservation, cultural, or historic significance. Federal agencies respond to abandoned and derelict vessels (ADV) in accordance with federal law, interagency agreements, and funding availability. Chapter 3 reviews actions federal and state agencies have taken to address ADVs in U.S. waterways. This chapter examines (1) key factors that guide how federal agencies respond to ADVs; (2) the extent federal agencies track ADVs and their expenditures for responding to them; and (3) actions states have taken to address ADVs and the factors they cite as affecting their efforts. On January 1, 2020, new, more stringent maritime emission regulations are scheduled to take effect for all ocean-going vessels as reported in chapter 4.

Book SynopsisSome years ago, while a Senior Lecturer-in-Law at BPP University, one of my Master of Laws' students asked if he could write a dissertation in Maritime Law. He wanted to do a survey of the rules of both Admiralty Law and the Law of the Sea. The department contained no specialist in either of these fields, and I taught neither. As he could not be dissuaded from this plan, I had to undertake a rapid, informal, self-directed learning programme in the subjects in order to gain sufficient professional skill to be able to supervise, and, later, assess the dissertation. His project was surprisingly good -- and I had my first contact with rules concerning territorial seas, contiguous zones, exclusive economic zones, continental shelves and high seas. My interest in these topics grew and, eventually, flourished in the project of this monograph. The book covers the laws in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982 that concern baselines and boundary delimitation, together with cases which relate to these topics. There is also a major input to the monograph from procedural matters pertaining to the International Court of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and arbitration under Annex VII to the Convention, with an example case provided for each of these mechanisms. As States Parties to the Convention may make a Declaration under its Article 287 for the settlement of their disputes by one or more of these methods -- together with special arbitration under Annex VIII to the Convention for four issues specified therein -- this Article, together with the methods and the remainder of Part XV of the Convention, are core material for a systematic review of the Law of the Sea. In instances in which it is possible, comparisons are made between: (i) the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and its predecessors, i.e., the Geneva Conventions from 1958, and (ii) the rules of the International Court of Justice and those of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. In essence, the Convention builds upon its precursory instruments, which tend to be simpler than the former, and the procedural rules for the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea are similar or identical to those of the International Court of Justice, other than a few provisions that are new or materially modified from the terms of the Court, but with the necessary changes from the latter being made. The cases at this level are fewer than in black-letter subjects of the law, but tend to be complex and, for the legal scholar, very interesting. This is especially true of the South China Sea Arbitration, which was a judgment of pioneering brilliance from an Annex VII arbitral tribunal composed of one academic and four experienced judges, to which a substantial literature has-in the short period since this case's resolution -- been devoted. The very best of luck with your reading!Table of ContentsList of Tables; Preface; List of Abbreviations; An Introduction to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea; An Introduction to the Cases of the International Court of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and International Arbitrations; Baselines and Boundary Delimitation; Bibliography; About the Author; Index.
