Reviews

...is an impressive work that should be read by any academic or practitioner who engages in the law of the sea on a daily basis, or who has a general interest in the role of courts and tribunals in International law.
*Øystein Jensen, Ocean Yearbook Volume 36*

This book provides a detailed explanation of a narrow but key topic of International law relating to maritime domain...Well-structured and clearly written, this book is relevant to academics and practitioners in the field of maritime and international law, as well as both governmental and non-governmental institutions dealing with the sea. It could also be a useful text for postgraduate level students.
*Dr Carlo Corcione, Law Society Gazette *

The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea is an excellent introductory text. Judge Kittichaisaree's careful and insightful analysis is illuminating and supported by reference to ITLOS jurisprudence. The book is undoubtedly a valuable source of reference for international law scholars, particularly in the law of the sea, and practitioners who wish to gain a comprehensive understanding of the procedural aspects of the functioning of the ITLOS for years to come.
