"The editors would like to thank the exceptional group of scholars who agreed to contribute their expertise to this volume. We could not have asked for a more talented, knowledgeable and reliable group of colleagues. It has indeed been a privilege to work with them. Further, we wish to thank Ellen Hey, Jason Czarnezki and Dominique Grace, for valuable inputs at the author workshop held in January 2019. Thanks are also extended to Susan H2ivik (text editor) and Marion Ravna (research assistance) for their invaluable contributions. We are deeply grateful for their all-important work on the manuscript texts and, not least, for not giving up when faced with varying forms of English and reference styles. Our appreciation also to Philipp P Nickels, research fellow at the Norwegian Centre for the Law of the Sea (NCLOS), for comments during the final stages of the project, and assistance in synthesizing the findings in Chapter 16"--
Offers a comprehensive and systematical review of the case law on maritime delimitation, identifying various inconsistencies.
9 Disputes Due to Other Treaty Obligations: The Antarctic Treaty
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.

During the four decades that have passed since the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea was negotiated, there has been considerable advancement in the knowledge of a number of important issues addressed in the Convention. Among those issues are marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction, including marine genetic resources; the continental shelf, including seafloor highs, and its outer limits; and deep seabed mineral resources. At the same time, as a consequence of global warming, fundamental changes are taking place in many areas related to the law of the sea. In particular, sea level is rising globally, which may affect baselines, maritime limits and boundaries of coastal States. New Knowledge and Changing Circumstances in the Law of the Sea, edited by Tomas Heidar, which includes twenty-two Chapters by prominent legal and scientific experts, focuses on these critical developments, the challenges they pose to the existing legal framework, and the various ways in which States are addressing these challenges.
This book conducts an examination of the international legal regime of the continental shelf through the lens of international relations (IR), with a primary focus on global governance theory. Presenting a new perspective within the field of IR and international law, the book offers new insights into the rules, principles, practices, and actors that establish and govern social interactions and the management of common affairs at the transnational level. The governance framework within the continental shelf can encompass a wider scope than legal laws alone, incorporating informal rules or potentially disregarding formal “black letter” rules that may not be effectively applied in practice....
