Download or read book Timor leste australia Conciliation The A Victory For Unclos And Peaceful Settlement Of Disputes written by Phan Hao Duy and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 11 April 2016, Timor-Leste initiated a compulsory non-binding conciliation proceeding against Australia under Annex V of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on its maritime boundary dispute with Australia in the Timor Sea. On 6 March 2018, the parties signed a settlement treaty on the basis of the proposal of the Conciliation Commission. Two months later, the Conciliation Commission issued its report, marking the conclusion of the first ever conciliation proceeding under Annex V of UNCLOS.This book provides detailed analyses of the proceedings and a step-by-step account of the conciliation process, as well as its wider implications for dispute settlement under UNCLOS and beyond. The various chapters explore a wide range of issues, including an overview of conciliation as a means of dispute settlement and the conciliation procedure in UNCLOS, as well as the origins and historical background of the maritime boundary dispute between Timor-Leste and Australia. The book also provides a comprehensive examination of each step of the conciliation proceedings, including the role of the Conciliation Commission, the Conciliation Commission's Decision on Competence, the issue of joint development, and the Maritime Boundaries Treaty, which Timor-Leste and Australia concluded as the legal outcome of the conciliation proceedings. Critically, the book offers insightful perspectives from Australia and Timor-Leste on the conciliation process. The book is an important contribution to the research and analysis of the Timor Sea conciliation. As one of the first books on the case, it will raise awareness and bring more familiarity with conciliation as a viable and effective dispute settlement process, thereby encouraging states to consider conciliation as a means to settle their disputes.

Download or read book Conciliation in International Law written by Christian Tomuschat and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume collects the materials underlying the International Colloquium “Conciliation in the Globalized World of Today“, held on 11 and 12 June 2015 in Vienna under the auspices of the Court of Conciliation and Arbitration within the OSCE. The aim of the Colloquium was to examine the merits and possible shortcomings of this method of conflict resolution, and it concluded that the pros heavily outweigh the cons. This volume therefore draws the attention of everyone dealing with conflict management to those advantages. It does not end by providing a summary of conclusions to be drawn from the examination of the rules governing the OSCE Court and the practice of the other institutions considered. The reader will have to find out her/himself what experiences have been made in other fields where conciliation has been institutionalized as a dispute-settlement procedure. In this regard, the present book constitutes a treasury of lessons that cannot easily be brought down to a common denominator.
Download or read book Indonesia s Delimited Maritime Boundaries written by Vivian Louis Forbes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the delimited maritime boundaries of Indonesia with its neighbours. It features carefully drawn maps based on the geographical coordinates of the defined maritime boundaries; the reproduction of a complete set of the primary documents with direct relation to the boundaries; and a comprehensive narrative on the geography and the historical development of the archipelagic State. Indonesia has an immense maritime domain that encompasses much of the sea between Australia and the Asian mainland. In addition, Indonesia is itself made up largely of water: in excess of 17,000 islands, Indonesia’s archipelagic and territorial waters together form about three-fifths of the country’s sovereign territory. This book offers readers clear, accessible information on the maritime boundaries of the world’s largest archipelagic state.
Download or read book Crossing the Line written by Kim McGrath and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2017-08-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fifty years, Australia has schemed to deny East Timor billions of dollars of oil and gas wealth. With explosive new research and access to never-before- seen documents, Kim McGrath tells the story of Australia’s secret agenda in the Timor Sea, exposing the ruthlessness of successive governments. Australia did nothing to stop Indonesia’s devastating occupation of East Timor, when – on our doorstep – 200,000 lives were lost from a population of 650,000. Instead, our government colluded with Indonesia to secure more favourable maritime boundaries. Even today, Australia claims resources that, by international law, should belong to its neighbour – a young country still recovering from catastrophe and in desperate need of income. Crossing the Line is a long-overdue exposé of the most shameful episode in recent Australian history. ‘Revelatory, extraordinary and compelling – an absolute must-read.’ —Peter Garrett ‘Crossing the Line is an unassailable exposé of Australia’s ruthless pursuit of resources in the Timor Sea. A timely and definitive book.’ —José Ramos-Horta ‘Kim McGrath has trawled the national archives to produce the smoking gun on Australia’s callous betrayal of the people who supported our commandos in World War II, and on the immoral and unlawful appropriation of their oil.’ —Paul Cleary Kim McGrath has been published in the Monthly and has long experience working in government and policy development. She is Research Director at the Bracks Timor-Leste Governance Project, which provides policy advice to the Timor-Leste government.

Download or read book Exploiting the Timor Sea written by David Dixon and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter explores frontiers as political and economic constructs, focusing on the contested borders of Timor-Leste. At its centre is a dispute about the maritime border between Timor-Leste and Australia which has recently been before the Permanent Court of Arbitration. At stake is access to massive oil and gas resources in the Timor Strait. This maritime border dispute can only be properly understood in the broader context of relations between Australia, Timor-Leste, and Indonesia. This leads to another border, the division of the island of Timor between Indonesia and (what is now) the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. This complex border - one line dividing the island from north to south and another enclosing a small enclave in north-west Timor - is a legacy of colonial occupation; by the Dutch in the west, by the Portuguese in the east. For a quarter of century, this border disappeared. Soon after East Timor declared independence in the wake of its 1975 abandonment by post-fascist Portugal, Indonesia invaded, uniting the island until an heroic resistance movement led to multinational intervention in 1999 and restoration of independence - and the border. So there are borders of various types. There are land and maritime borders: the latter may differ in regard to the seabed and the water column above it. There are economic borders, established by resource-sharing agreements. But there are also less tangible borders between truth and lies, between expediency and principle, between the past and the future, between cynicism and integrity, and between people whose lives count and those whose lives do not. This chapter will show how the Australian Government's recent actions towards Timor-Leste connect with a sorry history of deceit and incompetence which contrasts with Australian public opinion towards Timor-Leste.

Download or read book The Vienna Convention and Legally Binding Treaties written by Don Anton and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have been charged by the organisers of this seminar with discussing treaty law and its implications for the possible resumption of maritime boundary negotiations between Australia and Timor-Leste before 2057. Perhaps this is the most contentious mandate of today because it involves arguments about changing the status quo. My paper will unfold in two parts. I will first provide a necessary introduction and context in order to understand the arguments about the revival of the maritime boundary negotiations between Australia and Timor-Leste through a failure of the Treaty on Certain Maritime Arrangements in the Timor Sea (which I will call CMATS). I will then turn to the Arbitration under the Timor Sea Treaty, commenced by Timor-Leste against Australia in 2013, and which is currently pending before the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague. The Arbitration apparently disputes Australia's exclusive right to tax the pipeline to Darwin from the Bayu Undan gas field in the Joint Petroleum Development Area under Article 8(b) of the Treaty. Based on information that is publicly available (because the Arbitration remains a closed, secret proceeding), I will review the arguments, pro and con, under the law of treaties that might be run to allow Timor-Leste to escape CMATS before 2057 and revive Australia's obligation to negotiate the boundary dispute in good faith with East Timor. These arguments relate to whether the circumstances surrounding the conclusion of CMATS renders CMATS invalid or otherwise void at international law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unresolved Border, Land and Maritime Disputes in Southeast Asia, edited by Alfred Gerstl and Mária Strašáková, sheds light on various unresolved and lingering territorial disputes in Southeast Asia and their reflection in current inter-state relations in the region. The authors, academics from Europe and East Asia, particularly address the territorial disputes in the South China Sea and those between Vietnam and Cambodia and Thailand and Cambodia. They apply International Relations theories in a wider regional and comparative perspective. The empirical analyses are embedded in a concise theoretical discussion of the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity and borders. Furthermore, the book discusses the role of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and other multi-track mechanisms in border conflict mediation. Contributors are: Petra Andělová, Alica Kizeková, Filip Kraus, Josef Falko Loher, Padraig Lysaght, Jörg Thiele, Richard Turcsányi, Truong-Minh Vu and Zdeněk Kříž.

Download or read book Maritime Boundary Delimitation The Case Law written by Alex G. Oude Elferink and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law of maritime delimitation has been mostly developed through the case law of the International Court of Justice and other tribunals. In the past decade there have been a number of cases that raise questions about the consistency and predictability of the jurisprudence concerning this sub-field of international law. This book investigates these questions through a systematical review of the case law on the delimitation of the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone. Comprehensive coverage allows for conclusions to be drawn about the case law's approach to the applicable law and its application to the individual case. Maritime Boundary Delimitation: The Case Law will appeal to scholars of international dispute settlement as well as practitioners and academics interested in the law concerning the delimitation of maritime boundaries.
