Dispute Settlement in the Law of the Sea: Survey for 2022

Abstract

Abstract This is the latest in a series of annual surveys in this Journal reviewing dispute settlement in the law of the sea, both under Part XV of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and outside the framework of the Convention. The most significant developments during 2022 were the award of an Annex VII arbitral tribunal relating to the preliminary objections of Russia in the Dispute concerning the Detention of Ukrainian Naval Vessels and Servicemen case and the judgment of the International Court of Justice on the merits in the Alleged Violations of Sovereign Rights and Maritime Spaces in the Caribbean Sea case.
