“The
papers in this volume [are] prepared by a very distinguished group of the most
expert, and most perceptive, commentators on the contemporary law of the sea .
. . The insight that each of them brings to the peculiar strengths and
weaknesses of UNCLOS as an expression of, and vehicle for, international
co-operation and co-ordination makes this a volume of exceptional interest and
importance.” Professor Vaughan Lowe QC The United Nations Convention on the Law
of the Sea (UNCLOS) now has nearly 170 States parties and is still attracting new
ones. Often described as the “Constitution of the Sea”, it sets the legal
framework for all matters concerning the world’s oceans. This book provides
original thinking on a broad range of issues relating to maritime delimitation,
exploiting the outer continental shelf, emerging international energy issues at
sea, the relationship between climate change and law of the sea, protecting
human security and the marine environment, China’s approach to UNCLOS, and the
settlement of disputes for States and the European Union. The book analyses the
fundamental nature of UNCLOS and concludes that it may now be characterised as
a “living treaty” due to its capacity to adapt to new realities. It goes on to
assess just how alive UNCLOS is, in the sense of its quality of life or
vitality, and how well equipped it is to meet the challenges of the future.
