Ruiz Fabri, Franckx, Benatar, & Meshel: A Bridge over Troubled Waters: Dispute Resolution in the Law of International Watercourses and the Law of the Sea

Hélène Ruiz Fabri
(Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law), Erik Franckx (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Marco Benatar (International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea), & Tamar Meshel (Univ. of Alberta - Law) have published A Bridge over Troubled Waters: Dispute Resolution in the Law of International Watercourses and the Law of the Sea (Brill | Nijhoff 2020). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:
A Bridge Over Troubled Waters: Dispute Resolution in the Law of International Watercourses and the Law of the Sea takes stock of the progress made thus far in the resolution of disputes concerning international watercourses and the oceans, in addition to considering their future paths. Written by renowned academics and practitioners, the chapters of this edited collection enable the reader to reflect on the achievements and setbacks that characterize each field and their potential for cross-fertilization. Four major themes are explored: the shifting boundaries of “traditional” methods of dispute settlement; the contributions made by relevant organizations to dispute settlement; the interplay between substantive and procedural rules; and case studies on dispute resolution in the Nile and the Arctic.
