Such rules have been applied in several landmark cases in recent years, including the International Court of Justice’s judgments in Territorial and Maritime Dispute (Nicaragua volume Colombia) , and arbitral awards in the Chagos Marine Protected Area Arbitration (Mauritius volume United Kingdom) and the South China Sea Arbitration (Philippines volume China) . Among other things, this monograph explores: the legal concepts of “islands”, “rocks” and “low-tide elevations”; methods of securing sovereignty over and the maritime zones generated by islands; islands and historic titles, bays and rights; problems of delimitation in the presence of islands; legal issues arising from changes in islands over time (notably from climate change); and contemporary techniques for resolving disputes over islands.The Pocket Books of The Hague Academy of International Law / Les livres de poche de l'Académie de droit international de La Haye32.IslandsLaw and legislationIslandsLaw and legislation.341.42Murphy Sean D282317NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910826137703321International law relating to islands4028851UNINA
