Third Edition
This new edition has been fully revised to include up-to-date coverage of essential issues of
the international law of the sea. Covering a number of new and important issues, such as
the headline debate of migrant movement across the seas, and the definition of islands in
light of the South China Sea Arbitration, it also includes chapters on conservation of marine
living resources and biological diversity, protection of the marine environment, and
international peace and security at sea, as well as building further on such topics as the
impact of climate change on the oceans. A precise and readable book, with many figures
and tables, The International Law of the Sea continues to be the best choice for students
wanting to understand the law of the sea.
