From Author s Introduction!
“The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea Jurisprudence: Commentary,
Case-Law Digest and the Reference Guide (1994—2014), is an outcome of the teaching,
research and consultation experience that has been gathered while working in the field of law
of the sea and public international law in general. This work builds upon the academic and
juristic work reflected in two volumes on the International Court of Justice, namely, the
World Court Reference Guide 2002 and 2014 editions. This work will be helpful in learning
the Tribunal s decisive role in ascertaining, noting and developing the rules of law of the sea.
The case-law digest will also be useful to understand and put in a proper perspective the on-
going debate of fragmentation of international law due to, among others, creation and
functioning of various international courts and tribunals. Although the Tribunal does not
possess legislative powers or the power to codify international law, its pronouncements in the
law of the sea in the last two decades, reflect a different orientation in the future. Advisory
opinions rendered by the Tribunal particularly enable the readers to think of this emerging
trend. Furthermore, the judicial activism which is largely seen in the domestic courts is
slowly permeating through the Tribunal as well. One can see that the pronouncements
extracted in form of case-law digest in this edition quite support this drift.
This edition is divided into four parts. The first part presents a concise assessment of the
decision and explains the summary in the light of the Tribunal s earlier jurisprudence and
international law of the sea in general. Each commentary describes the facts of a particular
case, the arguments of the parties involved and the decision of the Tribunal. The second part
provides case-law digest of legal maxims and extracts from cases that have been dealt by the
Tribunal since its inception till September 2014. The third part describes the evolution of the
history of each of the cases and advisory opinions that has been dealt by the Tribunal. The
fourth part contains ITLOS Rules of Procedure and Declarations made by States under the
UNCLOS.”
