Note publique d'information : This authoritative guide to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea provides
a timely assessment of its activities over the past two decades. P. Chandrasekhara
Rao and Philippe Gautier's comprehensive book delivers a detailed and extensive analysis
of the Tribunal's jurisdiction, the procedural rules governing cases before it and
its contribution to the development of the law of the sea. Through a thorough examination
of the Tribunal's judicial practice, as well as referencing primary sources such as
treaties and statutes, the authors demonstrate that the Tribunal has fulfilled the
role entrusted to it by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Utilising
a practice-orientated approach, this methodical analysis reveals that the Tribunal
has successfully developed its own working methods in handling cases, whilst establishing
itself as a judicial institution with the ability to discharge its functions efficiently
and cost-effectively, and most importantly, determines that its jurisprudence has
contributed to the development of a coherent and progressive interpretation of the
law of the sea.--
