Implementation of the Law of the Sea Convention Through International Institutions Proceedings of the 23rd Annual Conference of the Law of the Sea

In this proceedings of the 23rd Annual Conference of the Law of the Sea Institute, international lawyers, marine scientists, diplomats, economists, even two justices of the International Court of Justice discuss the role of international organizations in promoting the peaceful uses of the sea. Enlightened resource management, freedom of navigation, safety at sea, pollution control, & other benefits of the ocean regime established by the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea depend upon the cooperation of varied & often opposing interest groups, especially in the interim before the Convention comes into force. Global & regional organizations, many under UN auspices, & inter- or non-governmental organizations increasingly provide the meeting place & ground rules by which nations can hammer out their differences & work toward mutual advantage. The book, the 23rd in a series, intersperses scholarly papers with commentaries & lively interventions from the floor. 713 pages of text, plus index, $45.
