Year: 2022 Language: English Author: Natalie Klein Publisher: Oxford University Press Edition: 1st ISBN: 9780192897824 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 465 Description: Unconventional Law making in the Law of the Sea explores the ways that actors operating at the international level are developing standards of behaviour to regulate varied maritime activities beyond traditional lawmaking. Other than conventions and customary international law, there is a plethora of international agreements that influence international conduct. This ‘soft law’ or ‘informal law’ is now prolific in ocean governance, and so it is timely to consider its significance for the law of the sea. This book brings together women law of the sea scholars with expertise in specific areas of the law of the sea, as well as international law more generally. Informal lawmaking is examined in relation to ocean resources, maritime security, shipping and navigation, and the marine environment. In each instance, there are reflections on the diverse actors, processes, and outputs shaping the regulation of the oceans. The analyses in this book further consider what this activity means within the rules on the sources, formation, and interpretation of international law. The growing reliance on informal agreements to fill gaps, provide quick responses, and to influence existing treaties or customary international law means it is vital that we assess and understand these new forms of cooperation. Unconventional Lawmaking in the Law of the Sea surveys the scope of informal lawmaking in the law of the sea and assesses the significance of this activity for the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, as well as for ocean governance more broadly, now and in the future.
