Abstract

Straits and their regulatory framework have long been a matter of controversy. Ambiguity characterised the few rules that existed prior to the adoption of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC); the LOSC subsequently brought a sense of uniformity and generality. However, being the result of opposed interests and compromises, the LOSC is incomplete and, as a result of subsequent practice, those rules that were agreed upon have been the subject of either evolution or crystallization. In this context, and from the Corfu Channel case up to the recent Hormuz controversy, straits have long been and remain an important matter. Their status under the law of the sea is now worth a reappraisal. International Straits: Concept, Classification and Rules of Passage is a compact volume and a product of renewed efforts to understand the current status of the rules and practice surrounding straits. Dr. Ana López Martín first published the work in Spanish under the title La navegación por los estrechos. Geoestrategia y derecho (Dyckinson, Madrid, 2008). Divided into six substantive chapters, complete with conclusions, as well as a catalogue of straits and a comprehensive bibliography, this translation has much to offer. Furthermore,
