Rocha: Private Actors as Participants in International Law: A Critical Analysis of Membership under the Law of the Sea

Armando Rocha
(Católica Global School of Law; Univ. of Lisbon - Law) has published Private Actors as Participants in International Law: A Critical Analysis of Membership under the Law of the Sea (Hart Publishing 2021). Here's the abstract:
This book examines the status of private actors as subjects of law under the rules of the international law of the sea. Providing a methodology for the notion of a single legal personality, it provides a clear understanding of membership in international law in order to establish to what extent private actors can be rights-holders or duty-bearers. It does this by taking a theoretical perspective which allows the reader to interpret their relevance in international law. This unique and innovative work makes a significant contribution to the current scholarly debates on private actors in international law.
