Praise for the first two volumes: `These two substantial volumes will be standard references for many years to come,[...] These volumes are also far more than a collection of basic reference material. The delimitations are given thorough analysis and commentary by two dozen of the world's top experts in maritime boundary delimitation to discover what light they might shed on the rules and practices relevant to the resolution of maritime boundary disputes, Jonathan Charney and Lewis Alexander are to be congratulated on a prodigious editorial achievement.' Gerald Blake in Boundary and Security Bulletin, 1:1 (1993) `This study is a wonderful example of what a coordinated research effort by scholars of the highest level of expertise can achieve. It shows, in all its depth, the full complexity of practices often relied upon but barely analyzed beyond the study of the relevant maps. It also shows that, without a full study of archives and unpublished documents, it is difficult to acquire full knowledge of maritime boundary agreements. . . . International Maritime Boundaries certainly widens our understanding of the subject; it will long remain an irreplaceable source of information and a repository of ideas for practitioners as well as academic researchers.' Tullio Treves, American Journal of International Law, 88 (1994) `This book, which was awarded the American Society of International Law 1993 Certificate of Merit, is an important contribution to the literature on the delimitation of maritime boundaries . . . . It is a substantial contribution to the literature on marine boundary delimitation and should find a place in the libraries of Foreign Offices, universities and other institutions and of all those concerned with this area of international maritime law.' Dr. L.D.M. Nelson, Netherlands International Law Review, XLII (1995) ` 'On mesure ainsi pleinement la diversite des techniques juridiques utilisees en la matiere par les Etats. L'ouvrage de Jonathan Charney et de Lewis Alexander permet de mieux les apprehender et tous les specialistes du droit de la mer formuleront le voeu que les deux auteurs poursuivent a l'avenir leur entreprise.' Daniel Bardonnet, Annuaire francais de droit international, XLIV (1998)
