Drawing on a wide range of scholarly works and archival documents from sources as diverse as the Dutch East India Company, the Ottoman Empire and the British Government, Buderi and Ricart analyze historical events from antiquity up to modern times. Ultimately, the authors reach conclusions on the ownership of the islands under international law which challenge the positions of both parties.Queen Mary Studies in International Law29.IslandsLaw and legislationAbu MusaInternational statusPersian Gulf RegionPolitics and governmentIranForeign relationsUnited Arab EmiratesUnited Arab EmiratesForeign relationsIranElectronic books.IslandsLaw and legislation.341.4/2Buderi Charles L.
