Reviews

'This book is one of the most thoughtful contributions to the discussion on the arbitral awards in the South China Sea case. Addressing a case charged with political implications, it examines, with a scholarly approach, some of the most important and controversial issues raised in the Awards. Particular attention is given to the key issue of the meaning of rocks under Article 121 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. More technical legal aspects, often left out in studies on the subject, such as the procedural ones, are also addressed. The authors are well-known specialists on the law of the sea working under the wise coordination of some of the top specialists in Singapore's research institutions.' -- Tullio Treves, Universita degli Studi di Milano, Italy 'The depth and breadth this book brings to the legal issues surrounding the South China Sea Arbitration are unmatched. The contributors explain the various aspects of the disputes (particularly those relating to the status and entitlement of the Spratly Islands' features), analyse the implications for the cooperation in the South China Sea, and the legal ramifications for the order of the oceans established under UNCLOS. This book is thus essential reading for everyone interested in the current state of the art in a field that addresses one of the key legal developments with regard to the South China Sea.' -- Julien Chaisse, The Chinese University of Hong Kong and Advisory Board Member, Asian Academy of International Law
