Abstract

The book review discusses &quot;Islands, Law and Context – the Treatment of Islands in International Law&quot; by Malcolm D. Evans and Reece Lewis, focusing on the complex legal issues surrounding islands in international law. The authors critique the existing legal framework and jurisprudence, particularly in light of the South China Sea Arbitration Award, highlighting inconsistencies and challenges in defining and treating islands. They advocate for a contextual approach to interpreting islands under international law, emphasizing the need to consider various factors beyond the text of the law. The book provides a critical analysis of the treatment of islands in maritime delimitation processes, challenging traditional approaches and advocating for a more nuanced understanding of the role of islands in international law.
