This Liber Amicorum has been written by prominent colleagues and friends of Professor of Public International Law and former President of the International Court of Justice, José María Ruda (1924-1994). The collection celebrates a lifelong career devoted to the promotion of public international law and dedicated to the furtherance of international organisations including the United Nations General Assembly, the Security Council, the International Law Commission, and the International Labour Organization. In addition Professor Ruda has played a prominent role in a number of international tribunals while also occupying important government and public positions, particularly in South America. The content of the collection reflects these broad activities of Professor Ruda, both in his academic and practical achievements. Contributions in English, Spanish and French cover the fields of international law, humanitarian law and human rights; international disputes, territorial sovereignty and maritime law; and the law of economic integration.
The Changing International Law of High Seas Fisheries
This book examines legal, economic and environmental developments including recent state and international practice.
The Social Construction of the Ocean
This 2001 book presents a history of the uses, regulations and representation of the world-ocean, from approximately 1450 through the present. This history is told through a 'territorial political economy' lens, borrowing from world-systems theory, economic-geographic studies of the spatiality of capitalism, political-geographic work on the history of territoriality, and post-structural work on social conflict in the production of space. Just as the modern era has been characterized by a conflicting set of dynamic and contested spatiality on land, so has it been characterized by a conflicting set of spatial functions at sea. Evidence is marshaled from legal texts, literary and artistic creations, cartographic representations, advertisements, commercial and military history, and policy debates. The book concludes by considering how lessons learned from the history of the ocean may be applied to emerging spaces, such as cyberspace, where there is a similarly problematic 'fit' between social processes and the institutions of state governance.

Filling Regulatory Gaps in High Seas Fisheries
In Filling Regulatory Gaps in High Seas Fisheries, author Yoshinobu Takei investigates the regime of high seas fisheries from the perspective of international law and considers whether there are regulatory gaps in high seas fisheries and, if so, how they should be filled. The book focuses on topical issues such as the management of deep-sea fisheries on the high seas and the protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems. In view of the current state of marine fisheries resources, together with ecosystem concerns, swift and effective action is required to improve fisheries management, in particular for high seas fisheries. Takei thoroughly analyzes the current state of affairs and convincingly suggests steps to be taken in the future.
A Bridge over Troubled Waters
A Bridge Over Troubled Waters: Dispute Resolution in the Law of International Watercourses and the Law of the Sea takes stock of the progress made thus far in the resolution of disputes concerning international watercourses and the oceans, in addition to considering their future paths.

Four major themes are explored: the shifting boundaries of “traditional” methods of dispute settlement; the contributions made by relevant organizations to dispute settlement; the interplay between substantive and procedural rules; and case studies on dispute resolution in the Nile and the Arctic.
Routledge Handbook of Seabed Mining and the Law of the Sea
For years, exploration of seabed natural resources has been ongoing while exploitation in deep marine areas remained unrealistic due to land-based mineral availability and costs. However, mounting pressures from the green transition, climate change, and long-lasting fears of terrestrial minerals scarcity now bring exploitation prospects closer to reality. This has caused concern to a growing chorus of States, scientists, industries, NGOs, and parts of civil society due to the potential environmental and social impacts of these activities. As a result, the idea of a moratorium or ‘precautionary pause’ is gaining ground. Yet, an important number of interpretation and implementation issues ...
