Overview

This new edition has been revised and updated to provide current and comprehensive coverage of essential issues of the international law of the sea in a systematic manner. This book presents two paradigms of the law of the sea: the law of divided oceans and the law of our common ocean. It covers contemporary issues, such as protection of the marine biological diversity, marine plastic pollution, the Arctic, and impacts of climate change on the oceans. Following the clear and accessible approach of previous editions, with many illustrations and tables, The International Law of the Sea continues to help students to best understand the law of the sea.

Reviews

'Professor Tanaka has written an excellent exposition of the law of the sea which offers both comprehensive coverage of key Conventions and agreements and analysis of pertinent judicial opinions and State practice. I very warmly encourage all students of this area of the law, to rely on this book in their further study of the topic.' Duncan French, University of Sheffield Advance praise: 'This book provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of a central topic in international law. It goes beyond the traditional subjects covered in the law of the sea to include contemporary and important maritime issues, such as the conservation of marine biological diversity and the maintenance of international peace and security at sea. Presented in a simple, yet precise, manner, it will equip the reader with an understanding of all of the key issues in the law of the sea, as well as an appreciation of the challenges which still lie ahead for the subject.' James Harrison, University of Edinburgh 'This book provides comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of a central topic in international law. It goes beyond the traditional subjects covered in the law of the sea to include contemporary and important maritime issues, such as the conservation of marine biological diversity and the maintenance of international peace and security at sea.

James Harrison, University of Edinburgh Advance praise: 'The law of the sea may be one of the oldest areas of international law, but continues to be one of the most contemporary and relevant topics in international relations. As Professor Tanaka says, 'the law of the sea provides a legal framework for ensuring international cooperation in marine affairs, thus safeguarding the common interests of the international community as a whole'. He has written an excellent exposition of the law of the sea. It covers, in comprehensive detail, the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, other international agreements, customary international law principles and related soft law documents, all of which are supported by analysis of pertinent judicial opinions and State practice. I very warmly encourage all, both 'new hands' and 'old sailors' of this area of the law, to rely on this book in their further study of the topic.' Duncan French, Sheffield University
