Book Review: UNCLOS and Ocean Dispute Settlement: Law and Politics in the South China Sea , written by N. Hong

Book Review: UNCLOS and Ocean Dispute Settlement: Law and Politics in the South China Sea ,... (Routledge, London, 2012), isbn 978-0-415-50527-7, 258 pages, price GBP 85. For several decades, the semi-enclosed South China Sea (SCS) – bordered on the north by Taiwan and China, on the south by Malaysia and Indonesia, on the west by Vietnam, and on the east by the Philippines, Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia – has been subject to some of the most complex and esteemed ocean-related conflicts in the world. While the littoral States (with the exception of Taiwan) have become parties to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the recent years have seen an upsurge in tension sparking new concerns about conflicting claims to jurisdiction, as well as questions of territorial sovereignty related to several island groups in the SCS. New events – such as China’s formal creation of an administrative body with its headquarters in the Paracels islands (the “Sansha” city) – have suggested that at least one State will not stick to the spirit of a code entered into in 2002, under which China, Vietnam and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) agreed to resolve their territorial and jurisdictional disputes by peaceful means, without resorting to the threat or use http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Nordic Journal of International Law Brill
