About Shipping Interdiction And The Law Of The Sea
Product Description In this comparative study of shipping interdiction, Douglas Guilfoyle considers the State action of stopping, searching and arresting foreign flag vessels and crew on the high seas in cases such as piracy, slavery, drug smuggling, fisheries management, migrant smuggling, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and maritime terrorism. Interdiction raises important questions of jurisdiction, including: how permission to board a foreign vessel is obtained; whether boarding State or flag State law applies during the interdiction (or whether both apply); and which State has jurisdiction to prosecute any crimes discovered. Rules on the use of force and protection of human rights, compensation for wrongful interdiction and the status of boarding State officers under flag State law are also examined. A unified and practical view is taken of the law applicable across existing interdiction regimes based on an extensive survey of state practice. Review "the volume is very well researched and well written, and it is authoritative yet highly readable. Guilfoyle strikes just the right balance between detail and depth throughout, providing comprehensive analysis while avoiding a plodding "kitchen sink" approach found in many treatises." -James Kraska,US Naval War College at International Law Department Book Description This book is a comparative study of shipping interdiction. About the Author Douglas Guilfoyle is a lecturer at University College London, where he teaches in public law and public international law.
