Description

UNCLOS, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, has been called a constitution for the oceans. It maintains order in the world’s oceans and regulates nations’ use of their natural resources. Tommy Koh served as president of UNCLOS III, the multi-year negotiation that produced this landmark treaty governing the governance of the global commons. In Building a New Legal Order for the Oceans, Koh provides an insider’s perspective on the UNCLOS negotiations and the concepts, tensions, and intentions behind today’s Law of the Sea. He explains the new international-law concepts arising from UNCLOS III, such as the Exclusive Economic Zone, Archipelagic State, Straits Used for International Navigation, Transit Passage, Archipelagic Sea Lanes, and the Common Heritage of Humankind. He also discusses threats to maritime security and the disputes in the South China Sea. Koh asks what can be learned from UNCLOS’s success and how we can build on it to manage new tensions in the Law of the Sea. There is no better guide to this aspect of international law than Koh. Format: Paperback; Pages: 376; Publisher: National University of Singapore Press; Publication Date: 2020.
