Modern Law of the Sea

Anderson (former judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea) presents 15 essays concerning modern maritime law, particularly the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and largely concerned with its expressions in the UK. Topics include: rights of passage and marine pollution, straits used for international navigation, the legal regime of the straits around Great Britain, the early practice of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and port state powers in the modern law of the sea.

Those collected essays examine different aspects of the modern law of the sea. They address many key provisions in the United Convention on the Law of the Sea, including its historical development, the substantive rules governing navigation, resources, the regime of the high seas, maritime jurisdiction, the protection of the marine environment and the delimitation of maritime boundaries, as well as the settlement of disputes. The essays also review the Implementation Agreement of 1994 concerning deep seabed mining and the Implementation Agreement of 1995 concerning Straddling and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks. The author presents purely personal views on many negotiations and cases in which he participated. The essays, written between 1988 and 2006, will be of interest to everyone involved in the law of the sea.
