Overview

This new edition discusses the important clarifications on historic maritime claims—particularly 'historic rights' (falling short of sovereignty); and the interaction of such rights with the Law of the Sea Convention resulting from the arbitral Award on the Merits of 2016 in Philippines v. China, and examines what is now left of the former customary law doctrine.

Overall, Symmons' revised Historic Waters and Historic Rights in the Law of the Sea: A Modern Reappraisal is a well-written, logically structured and timely contribution to the contemporary understanding of the doctrine of historic rights in the law of the sea... there is no doubt that Symmons' book is the most authoritative and persuasive monograph on the subject of historic rights in the law of the sea. As such, it will be of helpful guidance to those involved in current and future cases before domestic or international courts and tribunals that touch upon historical claims in the maritime domain. - Valentin J.
