[T]he book is an excellent tool for legal practitioners and scholars of international law of the sea wishing to deepen their knowledge of this field. In addition, it has the great advantage of offering in-depth analyses of all provisions of the Convention and its protocols in a single, user-friendly volume.

<i>United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea: A Commentary</i> is a reference work for law practitioners, scholars, theorists, that will shed an inspiring light on future legal discussion and instruments still to come. I fully recommend it and congratulate its editor and the publishing houses for embarking in this important and necessary project.
