Angela Del Vecchio & Roberto Virzo 
Interpretations of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea by International Courts and Tribunals [PDF ebook] 

This book addresses current developments concerning the interpretation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the part of international courts and tribunals. It does so from different perspectives, by focusing on the jurisprudence of international and regional bodies, such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECt HR), as well as international arbitral tribunals and the World Trade Organization (WTO) Dispute Settlement Body.

The various contributions offer in-depth analyses of issues ranging from the interaction between the sources of the International Law of the Sea, to various substantial, procedural and institutional aspects of the regulatory framework established by UNCLOS. The book also focuses on the reference by international courts and tribunals, in Law of the Sea cases, to both general principlesand rules concerning interpretation codified in the Vienna Conventions on the Law of Treaties.
