On 22 January 2013, the Republic of the Philippines instituted
arbitral proceedings against the People's Republic of China (PRC)
under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)
with regard to disputes between the two countries in the South
China Sea (South China Sea Arbitration). On 19 February 2013, the
PRC formally expressed its opposition to the institution of
proceedings, making it clear from the outset that it will not have
any part in these arbitral proceedings and that this position will
not change. It is thus to be expected that over the next year and a
half, the Tribunal will receive written memorials and hear oral
submissions from the Philippines only. The Chinese position will go
unheard. However, the Tribunal is under an obligation, before
making its award, to satisfy itself not only that it has
jurisdiction over the dispute, but also that the claims brought by
the Philippines are well founded in fact and law (UNCLOS Annex VII,
Article 9).This book aims to offer a (not the) Chinese perspective
on some of the issues to be decided by the Tribunal and thus to
assist the Tribunal in meeting its obligations under the
Convention. The book does not set out the official position of the
Chinese government, but is rather to serve as a kind of amicus
curiae brief advancing possible legal arguments on behalf of the
absent respondent. The book does not deal with the merits of the
disputes between the Philippines and the PRC, but focuses on the
questions of jurisdiction, admissibility and other objections which
the tribunal will have to decide as a preliminary matter. The book
will show that there are insurmountable preliminary objections to
the Tribunal deciding the case on the merits and that the Tribunal
would be well advised to refer the dispute back to the parties in
order for them to reach a negotiated settlement.The book brings
together scholars of public international law from mainland China,
Taiwan and Europe united by a common interest in the law of the sea
and disputes in the South China Sea.
This compendium of documents brings together, for the first time in
an affordable format, the documents needed to gain a thorough
knowledge of the laws of the sea. There has long been a need for
such a collection, providing students, scholars, and practitioners
with a working library of the key materials. This collection
integrates documents of the International Maritime Organization
(which are not available anywhere on the web in consolidated form),
regional fisheries organizations, security related documents,
treaties concerning resource exploitation, environmental protection
measures, and much more into the framework created by the Law of
the Sea Convention. The book is an unrivaled source of information
for teachers and practitioners, and will serve as a student's
classroom companion for maritime law courses.
Written to honour Professor Brownlie on the occasion of his retirement, this collection of essays, all written by his former students, demonstrates the depth and breadth of his influence on international law as teacher and practitioner over forty years.
Based on an analysis of the diplomatic practice of states, and decisions by national and international courts, this book explores the different meanings of the term `recognition' and its variants in international law. It is an important contribution to the current literature because so little has been written in this field in recent years. The author analyses the effect of recognition on the legal status of foreign authorities, particularly of those authorities in exile which are recognized as a government. In so doing, he covers material which is of significant historical interest, as well as highly topical material such as recent developments in Angola, Kuwait and Haiti. Thus Talmon's book will hold great appeal for international law scholars and practitioners alike.
