The United Nations Convention on the Law of Sea (‘UNCLOS’) is
hailed as one of the most significant multilateral legal agreements
executed in the past few decades. However, its shortcomings are
neither trivial nor inconsequential, especially regarding maritime
boundary disputes involving hydrocarbon resources. This monograph
examines the relationship between UNCLOS and maritime boundaries in
five non-polar regions, encompassing almost 90% of global
unresolved disputes involving offshore hydrocarbon development. The
regions, which include the eastern Mediterranean, the Caspian Sea,
the Persian Gulf, northeast Asia, and the South China Sea, were
chosen for their oil and gas resources potential and recent
military skirmishes that have the potential to lead to wider
regional confrontations. The book addresses each region’s
maritime boundary status in the context of specific articles within
UNCLOS that have been exploited by disputing states to justify
their overlapping claims. The history and future applicability of
multilateral Joint Development Area agreements for each region are
evaluated for their potential to provide a cooperative solution to
resolve ongoing tensions. Highlighting the limitations of current
‘gun-boat’ diplomacy, the monograph makes practical suggestions
for new paradigms for resolving outstanding disputes, promoting
lasting peace and generating economic benefits resulting from
resource development.
