Maritime Delimitation as a Judicial Process is the first comprehensive
analysis of judicial decisions, state practice and academic opinions on
maritime boundary delimitation. For ease of reading and clarity, it
follows this three-stage approach in its structure. Massimo Lando
analyses the interaction between international tribunals and states in
the development of the delimitation process, in order to explain
rationally how a judicially-created approach to delimit maritime
boundaries has been accepted by states. Pursuing a practical approach,
this book identifies disputed points in maritime delimitation and
proposes solutions which could be applied in future judicial disputes.
In addition, the book engages with the underlying theories of maritime
delimitation, including the relationship between delimitation and
delineation, the effect of third states' rights on delimitation, and the
manner in which each stage of the process influences the other stages.
