Abu Musa and the Tunbs ? claimed by both Iran and the United Arab Emirates. 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. 410 0$aQueen Mary Studies in International Law$v29. 606 $aIslands$xLaw and legislation 607 $aAbu Musa$xInternational status 607 $aPersian Gulf Region$xPolitics and government 607 $aIran$xForeign relations$zUnited Arab Emirates 607 $aUnited Arab Emirates$xForeign relations$zIran 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIslands$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a341.4/2 700 $aBuderi$b Charles L.
