Short description:
Sea-Level Rise and the Legal Stability of Maritime Zones examines how international law can adapt to climate change by preserving maritime zones under UNCLOS despite sea-level rise. Through treaty interpretation and analysis of state practice, it establishes a principled doctrinal framework for the legal stability of maritime zones.
MoreLong description:
Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), a State's maritime zones and the rights they confer are tied to its land territory. As climate change accelerates coastal erosion and inundation, traditional assumptions suggest these entitlements could shrink or disappear, with profound implications for access to marine resources. Sea-Level Rise and the Legal Stability of Maritime Zones explores the development of a new legal perspective that supports the preservation of maritime zones despite rising sea levels.
This book advances a contemporary interpretation of UNCLOS, drawing on a broad spectrum of state practice as reflected in international declarations and domestic legislation. Through systematic analysis of this evidence within the framework of treaty interpretation, Frances Anggadi consolidates the doctrinal basis for the view that the preservation of maritime zones may be achieved through interpreting existing provisions of UNCLOS, rather than requiring a treaty amendment.
As the first comprehensive work to conceptualize this emerging perspective, it offers a clear and principled framework for safeguarding maritime zones, demonstrating how international law can evolve to address global environmental challenges.
I had the honour of chairing the International Law Commission in 2025, when it adopted the final report of the Study Group on sea-level rise in relation to international law. Frances Anggadi's perfectly-timed monograph tackles the questions within the scope of this report with clarity and confidence, based on nuanced engagement with a remarkably broad array of State practice, and an appreciation of stakes, both for public international law and the affected communities and individuals.
