Naval Institute Press International Law for Seagoing Officers
Book SynopsisThe seventh edition of this Blue and Gold Series book brings clarity and context to international law for the seagoing professional. This book is the only work that addresses the international law of the sea from the perspective of the United States. For those who operate on, under and over the sea, international law can sometimes be as complex as it is important. Written by the same former seagoing officer and maritime law professional who authored the current edition of Farwell's Rules of the Nautical Road, this book was designed to bring clarity and context to international law for the seagoing professional. Following an introduction to public international law and a short history of the law of the sea, the book describes the rules that apply in ports and in the adjacent maritime zones, including the territorial sea, exclusive economic zone, archipelagic waters, and the high seas. A highlight of the book are the chapters that focus on subjects of greatest interest to the seagoing professional, including military and intelligence activities in the maritime domain, maritime law enforcement activities and the use of force at sea. The appendices include the text of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and the U.S. Senate's "understandings" of key provisions of the convention. Whether an academy cadet, a midshipman, a seasoned commanding officer, or master mariner, readers of this thorough and timely book will be rewarded with a far greater understanding of the international laws that govern ships and mariners at sea. New in this edition: - Over a dozen new cases by courts and arbitration panels interpreting UNCLOS, including the South China Sea dispute between the Philippines and China. - Coverage of Commercial Seafarer protections under Maritime Labor Convention. - Global Responses to the Mediterranean Migrant Crisis. - Coverage of the law protecting our vital submarine cables. - Expanded coverage of unmanned and autonomous vessels and aircraft. - Coverage on vessel health safety and quarantine measures applicable in the COVID-19 Pandemic. - A new chapter surveying issues the U.S. Senate should consider in any decision regarding ratification of UNCLOS. - A new appendix setting out the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard policies on sovereign immunity of government vessels and aircraft.

Book SynopsisForeword by Tony Press and Foreword by Bernie Funston'As climate change thrusts the Arctic and Antarctic towards the top of the global political agenda, this timely collection provides a broad overview of the issues, the options, and the rules and institutions that are already in place.'- Michael Byers, University of British Columbia, Canada and author of International Law and the Arctic'While at opposite ends of the earth, the shared characteristics of the Arctic and Antarctic are identified by this multidisciplinary collection of essays. Both regions need effective, flexible governance - whether through the Antarctic Treaty System or the Arctic Council - if they are to respond to the challenges of commercialization of hydrocarbons, climate change and the marine environment. Internationally recognized scholars grapple with the global politics of the polar regions, the perspectives of the Inuit people and the role of joint development. This invaluable, well-researched and stimulating collection clarifies the geopolitical and socio-economic dynamics of some of the world's most fragile and vulnerable environments.'- Gillian Triggs, Australian Human Rights CommissionThis timely book provides a cutting-edge assessment of how the dynamic ocean regions at the highest latitudes on Earth are being managed in an era of unprecedented environmental change. The Arctic and Southern Oceans are experiencing transformative environmental change as a result of climate change and ocean acidification. As areas of unparalleled environmental, cultural and scientific value, they are crucibles for testing how integrated, eco-systemic governance frameworks can be developed to meet and address volatile environmental, political and economic challenges.Drawing especially on Australian and Canadian experiences in polar oceans management through multilateral global and regional institutions, the book identifies policy options for improving the governance of the Arctic and Southern Oceans. In offering a pioneering 'bipolar' assessment of environmental management at both polar regions, this important book will be an essential resource for policy-makers, scholars and students actively engaged in discussion and debate on the future of polar oceans governance in the Anthropocene.Contributors: R.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The International Tribunal for the Law of the
Book SynopsisThis authoritative guide to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea provides a timely assessment of its activities over the past two decades. P. Chandrasekhara Rao and Philippe Gautier?s comprehensive book delivers a detailed and extensive analysis of the Tribunal?s jurisdiction, the procedural rules governing cases before it, and its contribution to the development of the law of the sea. Through a thorough examination of the Tribunal?s judicial practice, as well as referencing primary sources such as treaties and statutes, the authors demonstrate that the Tribunal has fulfilled the role entrusted to it by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Utilising a practice-orientated approach, this methodical analysis reveals that the Tribunal has successfully developed its own working methods in handling cases, whilst establishing itself as a judicial institution with the ability to discharge its functions efficiently and cost-effectively, and most importantly, determines that its jurisprudence has contributed to the development of a coherent and progressive interpretation of the law of the sea. Perceptive and meticulous, this book will be an invaluable resource for legal practitioners, as well as for academics, students and researchers interested in the functioning and achievements of the Tribunal.Trade Review‘The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea: Law, Practice and Procedure is an important and helpful contribution to the literature addressing the law and practice of the ITLOS. Practitioners, in particular, will find that the book is of great assistance in understanding how the ITLOS works and what the procedural and jurisdictional framework for litigation is. There is no doubt that the book will become an indispensable reference work for practitioners and scholars dealing with dispute settlement before the ITLOS and in the law of the sea more generally.’ -- Valentin J Schatz, German Yearbook of International Law‘The book is an important and helpful contribution to the literature addressing the law and practice of the ITLOS. Practitioners, in particular, will find that the book is of great assistance in understanding how the ITLOS works and what the procedural and jurisdictional framework for litigation is. They will find the book accessible and easy to navigate. They will also profit from quick access to the relevant case-law for each of the covered issues. There is no doubt that the book will become an indispensable reference work for practitioners and scholars dealing with dispute settlement before the ITLOS and in the law of the sea more generally.’ -- Valentin J Schatz, German Yearbook of International Law‘The book will prove a valuable tool for academics, practitioners and students with an interest in law of the sea or international dispute settlement. Moreover, with new developments in law of the sea we may see an even greater role played by the Tribunal in disputes relating to that agreement, and this book will prove an invaluable asset.’ -- Mitchell Lennan, Review of European, Comparative and International Environmental Law'Written by a former Judge and President of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and by its Registrar, this is certainly the most authoritative treatise on the Tribunal. It combines the insider's view of two protagonists of the activities of the Tribunal for more than twenty years with a first-rate scholarly approach. The book is a well-structured, tightly written, highly informed and informative treatise on a Tribunal that since its establishment in 1996 has found a relevant place in the map of permanent international adjudicating bodies. Procedural and institutional aspects as well as the contribution made by the Tribunal's case-law are presented in detail and in concise language. I have no doubt that this treatise will become a necessary tool for scholars and practitioners.' --Tullio Treves, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Italy'This book provides a clear, reliable, perceptive, and eminently practical account of the law and practice of the Hamburg Tribunal. It is essential reading for all those involved in the law of the sea and international dispute settlement. The two highly qualified authors (former President and current Registrar) have written what will surely become the first point of reference on the Tribunal, for practitioners and academics alike.' --Sir Michael Wood, Member of the UN International Law Commission'This book will be an indispensable reference for judges, lawyers, and scholars interested in the settlement of international disputes regarding the law of the sea. ''Present at the creation'' of ITLOS, the authors discreetly but generously share with us invaluable insights acquired during their two decades of service to the Tribunal, one as Judge (and President) and the other as Registrar. Text and practice are elegantly interwoven in a coherent explication of the Tribunal's procedure.' --Bernard H. Oxman, University of Miami, School of Law, USTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Addressing a case charged with political implications, it examines, with a scholarly approach, some of the most important and controversial issues raised in the Awards. Particular attention is given to the key issue of the meaning of ''rocks'' under article 121 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. More technical legal aspects, often left out in studies on the subject, such as the procedural ones, are also addressed. The authors are well known specialists on the law of the sea working under the wise coordination of some of the top specialists in Singapore's research institutions.' --Tullio Treves, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Italy'The depth and breadth this book brings to the legal issues surrounding the South China Sea Arbitration are unmatched.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Governing Marine Living Resources in the Polar
Book SynopsisBringing together leading scholars from across a diverse range of disciplines, this unique book examines a key question: How can we best conserve marine living resources in the Polar regions, where climate change effects and human activities are particularly pressing? Part one of this timely book focuses on Antarctica, centring on the evolving work of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources in managing the marine living resources of the Southern Ocean. Part two explores the multi-level governance regime in the Arctic, analysing the central Arctic Ocean fisheries agreement, the role of the Arctic Council and law and governance in Arctic states. Finally, part three considers some of the new challenges and opportunities, including new technology, bioprospecting and dispute settlement. Providing a comprehensive assessment of the governance regimes of marine living resources in the Polar regions, this book will be of great interest to academics, NGOs, international organizations and government officials, whilst also being a key resource for practitioners working in the fisheries industries. Trade Review‘The book paints a well-rounded picture of the state of play on issues of polar region marine living resource management in the second decade of the twenty-first century.’ -- Andrew Serdy, Ocean Yearbook‘Governing Marine Living Resources in the Polar Regions is one of the first books to comprehensively cover fisheries management in both Polar regions. With its unique concurrent analysis of the Antarctic and Arctic legal regimes, it addresses the question of how governance frameworks can be developed in the polar regions in a manner that effectively reconciles human needs and environmental protection. This book will appeal to both those involved in fisheries management and broader Polar governance and policy. It greatly contributes to the current literature by providing a better understand of the overarching global issues facing both Poles and how they have responded considering their very different governance regimes. As the first book to focus on this area, it synthesises the current understanding of marine living resources at the Poles, and with a unique focus on science and new actors in the Polar regions, highlights the benefits of a circumpolar approach to fisheries management.’ -- Claudia Sosin, Marine Policy‘This book offers a range of interesting insights into contemporary polar oceans marine living resource management.’ -- Tim Stephens, The Polar Journal‘This edited volume on the governance of marine living resources in the polar regions brings together a significant number of scholarly articles by an excellent mix of leading and established researchers and practitioners, as well as promising early-career academics. The research is very timely indeed...There is no doubt that this edited volume succeeds in its objective of providing a broad range of readers with a sound and solid assessment of key features of the governance regimes of marine living resources in the polar regions.’ -- Erik J. Molenaar, The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law'The polar regions are sentinels for biophysical change, changes that are in turn likely to have a range of impacts on geopolitics, human activities, resource use and environmental management. This book provides a timely and significant assessment of these opportunities and challenges, drawing on insights from experts on the Arctic and Southern Oceans. These perspectives - from science, law and political science - provide a comprehensive assessment of the current state of marine resource management in the polar regions.' --Marcus Haward, University of Tasmania, Australia'The Earth's marine systems are under increasing pressure, nowhere more so than in the polar regions. In this timely volume, a team of knowledgeable analysts assess the capacity of existing Antarctic and Arctic regimes to cope with the resultant governance challenges. This work will be of interest not only to those concerned with the polar regions but also to the broader community of those interested in the fate of the world's marine systems in this era of global change.' --Oran R.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Research Handbook on International Marine
Book SynopsisThis wholly new edition of the Research Handbook on International Marine Environmental Law provides an authoritative examination of international law relating to the protection of the marine environment. Rather than merely revised and updated, this new edition provides completely new and original chapters that critically engage with current legal issues surrounding activities that harm the marine environment, including marine pollution, seabed activities, exploitation of marine biodiversity and climate change, and with the different legal tools and mechanisms, including environmental impact assessments and compliance and dispute settlement mechanisms, used to protect the marine environment. New chapters also address legal issues relating to the role of technology and marine scientific research as well as the application of principles such as public participation. Each chapter goes beyond a survey of existing law to identify shortcomings in the legal regime and details further work needed to ensure effective regulation and management of human activities that affect the marine environment.Written by eminent scholars and practitioners, the Research Handbook on International Marine Environmental Law is a vital resource for scholars and government and policy practitioners, as well as for lawyers, policy advisers and advocates who work at intergovernmental organisations and non-governmental organisations that address marine environmental issues.Trade Review‘This second edition of the Research Handbook is a tour de force of the most relevant topics of marine environmental law by global experts in the field. This book is a must read for any practitioners and policymakers who are interested in viable solutions for ocean governance dilemmas where the needs of humans may not be easy to reconcile with the needs of increasingly precarious ocean ecosystems.’ -- Anastasia Telesetsky, California State University, San Luis Obisbpo, US‘The Research Handbook provides a comprehensive analysis of critical issues in international marine environmental law. Ambitious and forward looking, it addresses contemporary concerns, such as biodiversity loss, plastic pollution and climate change, suggesting solutions for coping with these challenges. This is an excellent and highly recommended publication for scholars and practitioners engaged in this crucial field of law.’ -- Tomas Heidar, Vice-President of the International Tribunal for the Law of the SeaTable of ContentsContents: Preface xi PART I MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW IN THE 21ST CENTURY 1 International marine environmental law in the 21st century 2 Rosemary Rayfuse, Aline Jaeckel and Natalie Klein 2 The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea – still relevant to protection of the marine environment? 33 Robin Churchill 3 Fragmentation and coherence in the legal framework for the protection of the marine environment 57 Alexander Proelss PART II LEGAL FRAMEWORKS FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT 4 Basic principles of international marine environmental law 81 Yoshifumi Tanaka 5 Compliance mechanisms under treaties relating to protection of the marine environment 104 James Harrison 6 Resolving international disputes concerning the marine environment 124 Natalie Klein and Millicent McCreath 7 Mapping progress and challenges for the UNEP Regional Sea Programme for the Mediterranean 150 Nilufer Oral 8 The Indian Ocean region and marine environmental law 172 Erika Techera PART III POLLUTION AND THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT 9 Vessel-source pollution – some key developments 196 Henrik Ringbom 10 Regulating shipping under conditions of uncertainty: The Arctic Ocean and knowledge-based decision-making 218 Tore Henriksen 11 From ocean dumping to marine geoengineering: The evolution of the London Regime 240 Karen N Scott 12 Ocean acidification 264 Ellycia Harrould-Kolieb and Tim Stephens PART IV PROTECTING MARINE BIODIVERSITY 13 Protecting the marine environment of the deep seabed 289 Michael Lodge 14 Protecting marine biodiversity and vulnerable marine ecosystems 311 Rosemary Rayfuse 15 Marine mammals and migratory species 333 Richard Caddell PART V MECHANISMS AND TOOLS FOR PROTECTING THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT 16 Public participation in the governance of deep-seabed mining in the Area 361 Jeff Ardron, Hannah Lily and Aline Jaeckel 17 Marine scientific research and the protection of the seas and oceans 385 Anna-Maria Hubert 18 New technology and the protection of the marine environment 409 Hilde J Woker, Rozemarijn J Roland Holst and Harriet Harden-Davies 19 Implementing environmental impact assessment in areas beyond national jurisdiction: Epistemic, institutional and normative challenges 428 Neil Craik and Kristine Gu 20 Enhancing marine protected areas and marine spatial planning through an ecosystem approach 451 Vasco Becker-Weinberg Index 467

World Scientific Europe Ltd South China Sea Developments and its Implications
Book SynopsisThe South China Sea (SCS) has emerged as a theatre of political, economic, and security concerns not only for the countries in the region but also for the world at large. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the SCS issue is not about contestation over territory or control over resources alone. With military facilities including airstrips and artificial islands or structures being built in the area, concerns about freedom of navigation and the right to innocent passage have also become an overwhelming security issue and made the SCS region a flashpoint which, according to many assessments, can lead to confrontations including those involving conventional military means. Disruption of maritime passage could also hamper trade and commerce with very negative impacts on the economic development of the region and other countries. It is now being held that China could also be using the SCS disputes as part of a consorted effort to deflect geo-political pressures on account of the COVID-19 pandemic-related cover-ups and misinformation. This book explores the historical and strategic context of the South China Sea disputes and makes an assessment of the implications of the same for freedom of navigation and other regimes at sea.Table of ContentsIntroduction; China and the Thucydides' Trap; South China Sea: Setting the Stage of the Conflict; China, the US, and the World; South China Sea and the Maritime Law; Politics of Artificial Islands; Military Buildup in the South China Sea & Implications; Exercises and Other Military Developments in the South China Sea; Attempts to Resolve the Conflicts; Conclusion;

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Ocean Geopolitics: Marine Resources, Maritime
Book SynopsisIn an era of turbulent ocean geopolitics, where environmental concerns and resource extraction are increasing interest in who owns what at sea, this timely book examines the international politics involved in how states delineate ownership and rights in the ocean. Analysing why some states settle their maritime boundary disputes and why others erupt into conflict, Andreas Østhagen uses the innovative approach of combining international law and international relations theory to examine four countries and their maritime disputes: Australia, Canada, Colombia and Norway. With a focus on marine resources, chapters unpack the dispute dynamics concerning offshore oil and gas, fisheries, and strategic security concerns. Through an examination of what led these states to settle their disputes, this innovative book delineates the wider political and legal factors behind boundary-making at sea and aims to improve the way that society resolves ocean conflicts. Navigating the complexities of international law and conflict resolution at sea, this book will prove a thought-provoking read for students and scholars of geopolitics and law. With ocean-governance an increasingly pressing matter on the political agenda of international negotiations such as UN Climate Change conferences, it will also prove an informative resource for officials engaged in ocean affairs, geopolitics, and the law of the sea.Trade Review‘In exploring the question of why states succeed, and fail, to resolve their maritime disputes, Andreas Østhagen provides a nuanced and comprehensive analysis of the various factors – political, legal, economic, even symbolic – that hamper or promote successful outcomes. This interdisciplinary lens of analysis yields new and important insights, making the volume an indispensable reference work for future research.’ -- Suzanne Lalonde, Université de Montréal, Cana‘Østhagen makes good use of a study of efforts to settle boundary disputes to illuminate the complex mix of factors leading to success or failure in individual cases. In the process, he helps us to understand why cooperation is difficult to achieve in international society where states are sensitive to appearances as well as to more objective indicators of their relative standing.’ -- Oran R. Young, University of California, Santa Barbara, US‘Combining international political and legal perspectives, Ocean Geopolitics offers fresh and timely insights on both the challenges and opportunities involved in the resolution of ocean boundary disputes – increasingly urgent issues spanning the global ocean. Highly recommended.’ -- Clive Schofield, World Maritime University (WMU), Sweden‘Andreas Østhagen’s book provides us with a panoramic map of the world’s maritime boundary disputes. After reading Andreas’ book carefully, readers will learn that although the governance tools and mechanisms for resolving maritime disputes are not perfect and not everyone is satisfied with the way disputes are handled, in general governments and people around the world still express their hope for peace by their patience to solve these problems. Andreas Østhagen's book reminds us that to achieve a more lasting peace and the stability of the oceans, the world needs a more integrated governance approach.’ -- Yang Jian, Shanghai Institutes for International Studies (SIIS), ChinaTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Islands, Law and Context: The Treatment of
Book SynopsisThis ground-breaking book challenges legal orthodoxy, presenting an original approach to the treatment of islands in international law. It offers a new perspective on how to define islands in international law, questioning how they differ from other maritime features. It focuses on the contextual factors that bear upon the legal treatment of islands, recognising that, in practice, islands have varied and unequal impacts and arguing that greater focus on context is needed to understand legal outcomes, particularly those concerning maritime boundary delimitation. Addressing the impact of rising sea levels on the interests and rights of islands and the increasing construction of artificial islands, the authors make the case for a major change in approach to the topic.This book offers international lawyers a thought-provoking reappraisal of a vital issue. It will be a useful resource for human geography and international relations scholars wishing to deepen their understanding of a key politically-contested and increasingly pressing debate in international law.Trade Review‘An erudite exploration of the island and international law, which draws on and moves beyond existing scholarship and judicial decisions to provide a modern, contextual and highly original account of islands and a sophisticated, authoritative and compelling assessment of their treatment under the law of the sea.’ -- Karen Scott, University of Canterbury, New Zealand‘The entry into force of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea has made the legal regime of islands a topical issue in international law. Climate change and sea-level rise contribute to the current interest in the subject. This book adds an important contribution to the existing literature. It pleads for a contextual approach that avoids the strictures of purely textual interpretation that have been a source of difficulty for current literature and judicial decisions.’ -- Tullio Rodolfo Treves, University of Milano, Italy‘In this refreshing and insightful book on islands and the law of the sea, Evans and Lewis convincingly show how and why context matters. Their pithy treatise is instantly accessible and yet exposes hidden influences on how the so-called “legal regime” of islands operates. They provide sharp insights into related questions of sovereignty and delimitation. For good measure, new challenges of climate change and sea-level rise are explored too. I highly recommend this timely and provocative book.’ -- Richard Barnes, University of Lincoln, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1. The ‘regime of islands’ in international law 2.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Development of the Law of the Sea Convention:
Book SynopsisThe UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) entered into force in November 1994. This insightful book offers in-depth appraisals of the contributions of jurisprudence to this major achievement of international law, tracing the impact that courts and tribunals have had on the development and clarification of various provisions of UNCLOS over the past quarter-century. Exploring the most pressing issues and recent developments concerning the oceans, leading authors discuss the influence of jurisprudence in fields ranging from fisheries to navigation and deep seabed mining, paying particular attention to the impact of dispute settlement in the law of the sea. While many questions remain unresolved, the specific case studies in this book show that courts and tribunals have made significant contributions to key legal concepts, as well as filling regulatory gaps left by UNCLOS. This authoritative and timely work will be of great interest to students and scholars working in public international law, and most particularly law of the sea. Its attention to statute will greatly benefit practitioners including judges, counsels and consultants in international litigation, and its practical approach will capture individuals working for relevant international organizations and NGOs. Contributors include: N. Bankes, L. Bautista, A. Chircop, R. Churchill, M.D. Evans, A. Jaeckel, Ø. Jensen, S. Lee, R. Lewis, M.L. Mcconnell, A. Serdy, K.E. SkodvinTrade Review‘The Development of the Law of the Sea Convention represents a collective effort in filling the gap left in academic discussion. This book offers an in-depth appraisal of the impacts and contributions of international courts and tribunals to the development of UNCLOS since its entry into force in 1994. The book is timely, authoritative and thought- provoking. It will be of great interest to a wider readership, not only scholars and students working in the fields of public international law and the law of the sea, but also practitioners and relevant international organizations and institutions.’ -- Zhiguo Gao, Ocean Yearbook'The contribution of international courts to aspects of the law of the sea other than maritime delimitation is rarely studied. The present volume fills this lacuna, illustrating how judges and arbitrators have shaped the law and interpreted often ambiguous provisions of UNCLOS in important and controversial fields such as fisheries, islands, deep seabed mining, the ''genuine link'', hot pursuit, and historic rights. This fine work by an international team of experts throws light on topical issues of the law of the sea and on the role of international judges and arbitrators.' --Tullio Treves, Former Judge, The International Tribunal for the Law of the SeaTable of ContentsContents: Preface xi 1 General introduction 1 Øystein Jensen 2 The regime of islands 14 Sir Malcolm D.

Book SynopsisThis authoritative Research Handbook offers wide-ranging coverage of both traditional and emerging topics dealing with the regulation of ocean space and highlights the key academic debates around ocean governance. It provides a formidable interface between the 1982 UNCLOS Convention and the international law regulating ocean governance, while influencing its further evolution through suggestions for future research in the field.The Research Handbook on Ocean Governance Law demonstrates that governance of natural resources is instrumental for international peace and security, and that humankind’s well-being and its very resilience is intrinsically linked to the good governance of the ocean’s natural resources.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Rotterdam Rules: A Practical Annotation
Book SynopsisThe Rotterdam Rules represent the most comprehensive overhaul of the law of carriage of goods by sea in more than fifty years. To coincide with the signing ceremony, six members of the Institute of Maritime Law have written a detailed commentary on the Rules. The Rotterdam Rules: A Practical Annotation examines the text of the Rules, all ninety-six articles of the new Convention, and compares them to the text of the Hague-Visby Rules, the instrument currently covering most bills of lading. The authors have also examined the judgments in cases decided in the English Courts under the Carriage of Goods by Sea Acts of 1971 and 1992 and have indicated whether these cases would be decided differently under the new Rotterdam Rules.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Liverpool University Press The South China Sea Arbitration: Understanding
Book SynopsisThe South China Sea Arbitration, which marks the first time that the Philippines and China have been parties to a compulsory dispute settlement procedure, is a landmark legal case. The Tribunal tackled head-on critical issues in the interpretation and application of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea that other international courts have failed to address, particularly the compatibility of historic rights with the Convention, the identification of maritime features as permanently submerged or above water at high-tide, and the distinction between features that are fully entitled to maritime zones and those that are not. In addition, the Tribunal also had to decide on issues as diverse as near-collisions at sea, illegal fishing of giant clams and sea turtles, and the destruction of fragile coral reefs resulting from island-building. The Tribunals task was rendered arduous by Chinas refusal to appear before it. In these circumstances, understanding the Tribunals decisions is a challenging undertaking. Chinas public relations campaign targeting the proceedings raised issues that the layperson could readily grasp, notably African states support for its non-appearance, the integrity of the judges, and the validity of arbitral awards. Understanding the Awards and Debating with China aims to facilitate understanding of the South China Sea Arbitration by presenting detailed summaries of the two Arbitral Awards. The author rebuts the questionable claims raised by Chinas public relations campaign and highlights Chinas covert actions during the proceedings.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Piracy in Comparative Perspective: Problems,
Book SynopsisThis new work presents a comprehensive approach to an age old disruption of the order of the oceans that was known to ancient Greece, Persia, the first Indian Empire, the Han Dynasty of China and the early European maritime powers. Many of the norms proscribing piratical acts that are codified in contemporary international law are vestiges of those earlier periods. Yet contemporary maritime piracy is more complex and intense. The International Maritime Bureau of the International Chamber of Commerce reported 439 reports of actual piracy attacks in 2011, most Somali based, and a higher number of attempts. This book presents perspectives on the problem by contributors from four continents, diverse legal cultures, and multiple disciplines. This volume appraises piracy from the comparative perspectives of those disciplines and from the standpoint of key participants in the social processes that are plagued by piracy-mariners, navies, ship owners and operators, policy makers and lawyers. Decision-making and operational measures cannot be separated from piracy's origins and continuing social impact. Thus the contributors bring clarity to the problem through the lenses of history, development, law, maritime security, fisheries, economics and ocean commerce. Maritime piracy initiatives are generating a great number of operational and institutional counter-measures and the diversity of stakeholder interests often complicates proposed solutions. Against that backdrop the contributors examine strategies - the range of available modalities to address and correct the problem - through the lenses of naval power, port state control, penal systems and development. And they appraise law - both national and international authoritative decision-making - viewing state practice, international regulations, tribunal judgments, custom and international conventions from the comparative perspectives of Africa, India, England, France and the United States. Piracy in Comparative Perspective is a collaboration of the Centre for Maritime and Oceanic Law (CDMO) of the University of Nantes (France) and the Center for Oceans and Coastal Law of the University of Maine School of Law (United States), prepared under the direction of Professor Charles H. NORCHI and Dr. Gwenaële PROUTIERE-MAULION.Table of ContentsThe Piracy Problem: The Puntland Perspective The President of Puntland State of Somalia His Excellency Abdirahman Mohamed MOHAMUD (FAROLE) Introduction Piracy in Comparative Perspective I.

Book SynopsisIn The Spratly Islands and International Law, Xuechan Ma offers a detailed analysis of legal solutions to achieve coexistence and cooperation in the Spratly Islands in the absence of maritime delimitation. This book challenges the classical territoriality model of jurisdiction in international law, which is ineffective in the Spratly Islands context where complex and contentious situations call for different solutions. Based on the substance-procedure duality of international law, Ma draws on extensive sources of international law including cases, treaties, practice and doctrine, and formulates novel, concrete proposals to indicate the way forward for the Spratly Islands.

Brill The 1982 Law of the Sea Convention and the
Book SynopsisThere are various environmental and legal challenges arising from offshore renewable energy activities which were not foreseen at the time of the negotiation of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This book explores how UNCLOS has evolved to adapt to these new challenges through legal mechanisms and examines what gaps may remain and how they should be filled. The book highlights the process of normative reinforcement in the regulation of offshore renewable energy activities whilst maintaining the fundamental balance of interests between the coastal State
