Human activities have taken place in the world's oceans and seas
for most of human history. With such a vast number of ways in which
the oceans can be used for trade, exploited for natural resources
and fishing, as well as concerns over maritime security, the legal
systems regulating the rights and responsibilities of nations in
their use of the world's oceans have long been a crucial part of
international law. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the
Sea comprehensively defined the parameters of the law of the sea in
1982, and since the Convention was concluded it has seen
considerable development. This Oxford Handbook provides a
comprehensive and original analysis of its current debates and
controversies, both theoretical and practical. Written by over
forty expert and interdisciplinary contributors, the Handbook sets
out how the law of the sea has developed, and the challenges it is
currently facing. The Handbook consists of forty chapters divided
into six parts. First, it explains the origins and evolution of the
law of the sea, with a particular focus upon the role of key
publicists such as Hugo Grotius and John Selden, the gradual
development of state practice, and the creation of the 1982 UN
Convention. It then reviews the components which comprise the
maritime domain, assessing their definition, assertion, and
recognition. It also analyses the ways in which coastal states or
the international community can assert control over areas of the
sea, and the management and regulation of each of the maritime
zones. This includes investigating the development of the
mechanisms for maritime boundary delimitation, and the decisions of
the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. The Handbook
also discusses the actors and intuitions that impact on the law of
the sea, considering their particular rights and interests, in
particular those of state actors and the principle law of the sea
institutions. Then it focuses on operational issues, investigating
longstanding matters of resource management and the integrated
oceans framework. This includes a discussion and assessment of the
broad and increasingly influential integrated oceans management
governance framework that interacts with the traditional law of the
sea. It considers six distinctive regions that have been pivotal to
the development of the law of the sea, before finally providing a
detailed analysis of the critical contemporary issues facing the
law of the sea. These include threatened species, climate change,
bioprospecting, and piracy. The Handbook will be an invaluable and
thought-provoking resource for scholars, students, and
practitioners of the law of the sea.
