Overview
In The Continental Shelf Beyond 200 Nautical Miles, Bjarni Mar Magnusson explores various aspects of the establishment of the outer limits of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles and maritime boundary delimitations. Special emphasis is laid on the interplay between these processes and the role of coastal States, the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf and international courts and tribunals in this regard. Magnusson convincingly argues that despite the possibility for tension to arise the relationship between the relevant institutions and processes is clear and precise and they together form a coherent system where each separate institution plays its own part in a larger process.

Reviews
This book addresses a very important topic at a time which is currently very much a `live' issue in a number of cases before international courts and tribunals. This is both a help and a handicap. The work tends to be stronger on identifying the questions which need to be addressed than in offering clear answers to them. Given the difficulties of answering those questions, such caution is both understandable and appropriate, but it does mean that those hoping to find clear answers may be disappointed. What it does do, however, is set out in detail the range of issues which need to be addressed when considering the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles and so offers a very helpful template for engaging with the complexities of the topic. - Malcolm Evans , in: The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law
