Law of Maritime Delimitation : Reflections

The problem of maritime delimitation is one of the most disputed questions in international law. Out of the several hundred situations calling for maritime delimitation, only about a hundred have so far been settled. Numerous negotiations are under way, and several cases will come before international tribunals over the next few years. The purpose of this book is to assess the meaning and scope of the solutions already reached, to submit them to a critical analysis, to identify the directions in which the evolution of the law is headed, and to advance some suggestions as to desirable developments. particularly in the light of the judgment of the International Court of Justice in the Libya/Malta case, Professor Weil argues cogently in favour of equidistance as a starting point, modified as necessary by reference to equitable considerations.Weil, Prosper is the author of 'Law of Maritime Delimitation : Reflections', published 1989 under ISBN 9780949009401 and ISBN 0949009407.
