Cases and Materials on the Law of the Sea

A text that will be used both as a classroom course book and as a treatise and reference guide, Cases and Materials on the Law of the Sea includes engaging teaching materials that systematically introduce law of the sea topics, placing them in the context of important themes about the roles of international law and international legal process. Historical materials of continuing importance appear alongside new materials that address such topics as maritime terrorism and port security, the protection of under-water cultural heritage, marine sanctuaries, deep-sea vent resources, and the operation of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and other new international organizations. These new topics complement a comprehensive treatment of rights and responsibilities in various zones of the oceans and on the high seas, fisheries, non-living resources, marine pollution, vessel nationality and jurisdiction over vessels, baselines, maritime boundary delimitation, and dispute settlement. Extensive notes and commentary accompany carefully selected and edited readings and documents, some of which are not readily available in other reference sources. Citations to major primary and secondary readings are also provided, making the text an important tool for researchers.Sohn, Louis B. is the author of 'Cases and Materials on the Law of the Sea', published 2004 under ISBN 9781571053176 and ISBN 1571053174.
