Book The Contested Maritime and Territorial Boundaries of Malaysia An International Law Perspective

Download or read book The Contested Maritime and Territorial Boundaries of Malaysia An International Law Perspective written by R. Haller-Trost and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-11-03 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malaysia exemplifies boundary problems faced by most countries throughout Southeast Asia. This work studies the origins of Malaysian maritime and territorial disputes. The main text is divided into two parts: The first examines the maritime claims arising from the publication of the Malaysian map issued in 1979. The second analyses five territorial disputes between Malaysia and its neighbours. The Contested Maritime and Territorial Boundaries of Malaysia explores the country's overlapping maritime claims in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore, the Gulf of Thailand, the South China Sea, the Sulu Sea, and the Celebes Sea. A comprehensive examination of Malaysia's territorial disputes with Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, the Philippines, China, and Taiwan follows, including coverage of the complicated matter of ownership over the Spratly Islands. A detailed look at the historical context demonstrates the longevity and complexity of the legal issues involved in the present disputes. The work scrutinizes the claims made under prevailing international law principles and examines the present level of dispute resolution. The first extensive study of its kind and an important addition to the International Boundary Studies Series, The Contested Maritime and Territorial Boundaries of Malaysia includes a chronological list of the main treaties, legislation, and related documents concerning the disputes discussed; an extensive bibliography of publications regarding the issues raised; and 23 maps, making it the most comprehensive reference work available on this subject.

Book A Practitioner s Guide to Maritime Boundary Delimitation

Download or read book A Practitioner s Guide to Maritime Boundary Delimitation written by Stephen Fietta and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 767 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a user-friendly and practical guide to the modern law of maritime boundary delimitation. The law of maritime boundaries has seen substantial evolution in recent decades. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the law in this field, and its development through the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which set out the framework of the modern law in 1982. The Convention itself has since been substantially built upon and clarified by a series of judicial and arbitral decisions in boundary disputes between sovereign states, which themselves also built upon earlier case law. The book dissects each of the leading international judgments and awards since the North Sea Continental Shelf Cases in 1969, providing a full analysis of the issues and context in each case, explaining their fundamental importance to shaping the law. The book provides over forty clear technical illustrations prepared by Robin Cleverly, one of the leading technical experts in international dispute resolution, to carefully demonstrate the key issues at stake in this complex area of law. Technological developments in the exploitation of maritime natural resources (including oil and gas) have provided a significant impetus for recent boundary disputes, as they have made the resources found in remote areas of the ocean and seabed more accessible. However, these resources cannot effectively be exploited at the moment, as hundreds of maritime boundaries worldwide remain undelimited. The book therefore complements the legal considerations raised with substantial technical input. It also identifies key issues in maritime delimitation which have yet to be resolved, and sets out the possible future direction the law may take in resolving them. It will be an unique and valuable resource for lawyers involved in cases involving maritime delimitation, and scholars and students of the law of the sea.

Book Maritime Boundary Disputes  Settlement Processes  and the Law of the Sea

Download or read book Maritime Boundary Disputes Settlement Processes and the Law of the Sea written by Jon M. van Dyke and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-03-16 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A surprising number of maritime boundaries remain unresolved, and a range of reasons can be cited to explain why the process of delimiting these boundaries has been so slow. This volume addresses and analyzes some of these reasons, focusing on some of the volatile disputes in Northeast Asia and in North America. Scholars from Asia, the United States, and Europe grapple with festering controversies and apply insights gained from resolved disputes to those that remain unresolved. Islands continue to haunt this process, and the way in which they should affect maritime boundaries remains in dispute. The United States has a number of disputed boundaries with its neighbors to the north and south, and these are examined. Antarctica is a concern of all nations, and the regimes governing the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica are analyzed. The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea was created to allow countries to resolve their disputes peacefully, and two chapters look at how this new court is operating. The impact of sea-level rise on maritime boundaries is given special attention in the opening chapter. This volume presents a wonderful collection of provocative chapters written by the top scholars in the field of International Ocean Law. It should help scholars, students, and decision makers to understand the current state of this field and to move some of the difficult disputes toward resolution.

Book Assessing Maritime Disputes in East Asia

Download or read book Assessing Maritime Disputes in East Asia written by Barthelemy Courmont and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining practical and theoretical approaches, this book addresses the political, legal and economic implications of maritime disputes in East Asia. The maritime disputes in East Asia have multiplied over the past few years, in parallel with the economic growth of the countries in the region, the rise of nationalist movements, fears and sometimes fantasies regarding the emergence of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as a global power, increasing military expenses, as well as speculations regarding the potential resources in various disputed islands. These disputes, however, are not new and some have been the subject of contention and the cause of friction for decades, if not centuries in a few cases. Offering a robust analysis, this volume explores disputes through the different lenses of political science, international law, history and geography, and introduces new approaches in particular to the four important disputes concerning Dokdo/Takeshima, Senkaku/Diaoyu, Paracels and Spratlys. Utilising a comparative approach, this book identifies transnational trends that occur in the different cases and, therefore, at the regional level, and aims to understand whether the resurgence of maritime disputes in East Asia may be studied on a case by case basis, or should be analysed as a regional phenomenon with common characteristics. This book will be of interest to students of Asian Politics, Maritime Security, International Security, Geopolitics and International Relations in general.

Book The Indonesia Malaysia Dispute Concerning Sovereignty over Sipadan and Ligitan Islands

Download or read book The Indonesia Malaysia Dispute Concerning Sovereignty over Sipadan and Ligitan Islands written by D S Ranjit Singh and published by ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002, ASEAN made history when two of its founder members—Indonesia and Malaysia—amicably settled a dispute over the ownership of the two Bornean islands of Sipadan and Ligitan by accepting the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) which ruled in favour of Malaysia. The case at once assumed great significance as a beacon of hope for the region which is plagued by numerous disruptive territorial disputes. As both the historical evidence and legal milieu are vital considerations for the ICJ to award sovereignty, this book covers in detail the historical roots of the issue as well as the law dimension pertaining to the process of legal proceedings and the ICJ deliberations. The work concludes by offering a set of guidelines on cardinal principles of international law for successfully supporting a claim to disputed territories. These may be usefully utilized by interested parties. “An invaluable account of the dispute between Malaysia and Indonesia over the Sipadan and Ligitan Islands. Written skilfully by a historian who is in clear command of the facts. Highly recommended for anyone who wishes to understand border disputes in Southeast Asia.”—Professor James Chin, Director, Asia Institute, University of Tasmania

The work will be of particular value to lawyers concerned with law of the sea disputes especially those with a keen interest in the outcome of outstanding problems in the Mediterranean.

Book China s Maritime Boundaries in the South China Sea

Download or read book China s Maritime Boundaries in the South China Sea written by Jinming Li and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maritime boundary disputes in the South China have existed for centuries, and researchers from a variety of countries have analysed the situation from a great many points of view. Yet, and despite its status as one of the major countries in the region, Chinese perspectives have often been absent from the international literature. This book redresses that balance. Bringing together scholarship from history and international law, this book provides a lens through which maritime territorial disputes in the South China Sea can be interrogated. Not only does it detail the historical and jurisprudential evidence that support maritime boundaries in the South China Sea for different stakeholders, but it also clarifies some misconceptions related to China’s nine-dash lines by referring to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Moreover, the book offers in-depth discussion and observation on the most recent developments in the South China Sea. This book is an essential resource for researchers, teachers and students who specialize in Southeast Asian Studies, China maritime studies, and the international law of the sea.

Book Predictability and Flexibility in the Law of Maritime Delimitation

Download or read book Predictability and Flexibility in the Law of Maritime Delimitation written by Yoshifumi Tanaka and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully revised new edition offers a comprehensive picture of the law of maritime delimitation, incorporating all new cases and State practice in this field. As with all types of law, the law of maritime delimitation should possess a degree of predictability. On the other hand, as maritime delimitation cases differ, flexible considerations of geographical and non-geographical factors are also required in order to achieve equitable results. How, then, is it possible to ensure predictability while taking into account a number of diverse factors in order to achieve an equitable result? This is the question at the heart of the law of maritime delimitation. This book explores a well-balanced legal framework that reconciles predictability and flexibility in the law of maritime delimitation by looking at three aspects of the question: first it reviews the evolution of the law of maritime delimitation; second, it undertakes a comparative study of the case law and State practice; and third, it critically assesses the law of maritime delimitation in its current form.
