The International Law of the Sea - 2nd Edition by Donald R Rothwell & Tim Stephens (Paperback)

This comprehensive guidebook provides a detailed explanation of the foundational principles of the law of the sea, offering an in-depth analysis of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and subsequent developments.

With a focus on the rules and institutions established by the Convention, this book covers all major areas of the law of the sea, including maritime zones, boundary delimitation, archipelagic states, navigational rights and freedoms, military activities at sea, and marine resource conservation issues.

The second edition takes stock of contemporary oceans issues that are not adequately addressed by the Convention, such as new maritime security initiatives and legal responses to protect the global ocean environment from climate change and acidification.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the law of the sea and its ongoing relevance in today's rapidly changing world.
