The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is one of the
most important constitutive instruments in international law. Not
only does this treaty regulate the uses of the world"s largest
resource, but it also contains a mandatory dispute settlement
system - an unusual phenomenon in international law. While some
scholars have lauded this development as a significant achievement,
others have been highly sceptical of its comprehensiveness and
effectiveness. This book explores whether a compulsory dispute
settlement mechanism is necessary for the regulation of the oceans
under the Convention. The requisite role of dispute settlement in
the Convention is determined through an assessment of its
relationship to the substantive provisions. Klein firstly describes
the dispute settlement procedure in the Convention. She then takes
each of the issue areas subject to limitations or exceptions to
compulsory procedures entailing binding decisions, and analyses the
interrelationship between the substantive and procedural rules.
