Max Planck Yearbook of United Nations Law28- Law, Volume 28 (2024)

Founded in 1997, the Max Planck Yearbook of United Nations Law (UNYB), is produced under the auspices of the Max Planck Foundation for International Peace and the Rule of Law. Volume 28 of the UNYB features a special thematic forum titled ‘Challenges and Opportunities for the Law of the Sea at a Time of Crisis’. This edition contains a curation of high-quality contributions that critically assess the resilience and adaptability of the law of the sea, four decades after the entry into force of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The volume brings together insights from both academic and practitioner perspectives, offering a holistic analysis of contemporary maritime challenges, and the evolving role of the law of the sea in tackling them. Contributors include established and emerging scholars alongside practitioners from international courts and tribunals, United Nations bodies, national governments, and leading research institutions. Together, they reflect the diverse range of views shaping the law of the sea today. By concentrating on issues connected with the UN and its initiatives, the UNYB aims to facilitate an understanding of the changes the UN has been undergoing since its foundation. It also provides a forum in which the potential of international organizations to affect the future course of international law and relations can be examined and assessed. The UNYB addresses both scholars and practitioners, giving them insights into the workings, challenges and evolution of the UN.
