International Law and Marine Areas beyond National Jurisdiction
Reflections on Justice, Space, Knowledge and Power
Series: - Publications on Ocean Development, Volume: 95
The legal regime of marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) has received much attention in the last decades. The ongoing process in regards of an agreement on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in ABNJ, initiated in the early 2000s (BBNJ process) is crucial evidence of this. However, this process reflects entrenched interests and political and legal structures, muting other voices and alternative approaches. International Law and Marine Areas beyond National Jurisdiction investigates competing constructions of ABNJ and their role in the creation and articulations of legal principles, which provides a broader perspective on the BBNJ process.
Vito De Lucia, PhD (2016), UiT the Arctic University of Norway, is Professor of Law at that University. He is an award-winning scholar, and has published monographs, edited volumes and many papers in high impact journals on international environmental law, law of the sea and critical legal theory.
