Dispute Settlement in the Law of the Sea: Survey for 2021

This is the latest in a series of annual surveys in this Journal reviewing dispute settle-ment in the law of the sea, both under Part xv of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and outside the framework of the Convention. The most significant developments during 2021 were a judgment of a Special Chamber of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea finding that it had jurisdiction to delimit a maritime boundary between Mauritius and the Maldives and a judgment of the International Court of Justice delimiting the maritime boundary between Somalia and Kenya.
