The Rise of Compatibility Fishery Disputes and their Peaceful Settlement

Ntovas, Alexandros (2023) The Rise of Compatibility Fishery Disputes and their Peaceful Settlement , Edward Elgar Publishing, 350pp.

Abstract

The book addresses primarily the academic audience that inhabits the sphere of the law of the sea as one of the most vibrant and historically important parts of the general international law debate. Moreover, it will appeal to a broader and interdisciplinary audience of public law scholars having a keen interest in treaty law and international dispute settlement as the book constructs a theoretical paradigm of critical discourse that combines the doctrines of evolutive and effective interpretation through the prism of legal historiography, while at the same time remains solidly grounded on a detached examination of rationally competing reasonings tested against the procedural law constraints of several standing international courts and tribunals (PCIJ, ICJ, ITLOS, Arbitrations), and other quasi adjudication forums (WTO and RFMO review panels). In the latter context, practitioners engaging in fishery disputes with transjurisdictional aspects will find particularly useful the in-depth and up-to-date discussion of the settlement procedures options available for compatibility fishery disputes. Finally, as the subject-matter of the book reflects necessarily also on metajuridical concerns regarding the traditionally conceived sovereignty principle of States over natural resources, policymakers, government officials/civil servants and environmentalists working in the area of ocean governance and the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals will find the proposed title being accessible for the purpose of gaining a sound knowledge and understanding of the law applicable on the sustainable conservation and management of straddling stocks and highly migratory species, as well as acquiring insights into the legal complexities involved in the administration of such international disputes.
