The International Law of the Sea

The International Law of the Sea

Donald R Rothwell; Tim Stephens

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2023
nidottu
Praise for the previous edition: “A complete overview of the subject which does not intimidate the reader but rather spurns interest and understanding in the subject.”European Energy and Environmental Law Review “…(the book is) scholarly yet accessible and very readable; thoroughly recommended.”Law Institute JournalDescriptionThe law of the sea provides for the regulation, management and governance of the ocean spaces that cover over two-thirds of the Earth’s surface. This book provides a comprehensive assessment of the foundational principles of the law of the sea, a critical overview of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and an analysis of subsequent developments including many bilateral, regional, and global agreements that supplement the Convention.The third edition of this acclaimed text has been thoroughly revised and updated, and now incorporates a dedicated chapter on natural and artificial islands. All of the main areas of the law of the sea are addressed including the foundations and sources of the law, the nature and extent of the maritime zones, the delimitation of overlapping maritime boundaries, the place of archipelagic and other special states in the law of the sea, navigational rights and freedoms, military activities at sea, marine scientific research, and marine resource and conservation issues such as fisheries, marine environmental protection and dispute settlement.The book also takes stock of contemporary oceans governance issues not adequately addressed by the Convention. Overarching challenges facing the law of the sea are considered, including how new maritime security initiatives can be reconciled with traditional navigational rights and freedoms, the need for stronger legal and policy responses to protect the global ocean environment from climate change and ocean acidification, and work on a new agreement for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction.

Simian's Walk

Simian's Walk

Stephen Donald Huff

Independently Published
2019
pokkari
During an otherwise placid Thursday morning commute, human civilization deconstructed itself like a riot in a madhouse, one hand-to-hand death-brawl at a time. None escaped the slaughter. Perversely efficient in the aftermath, an alien-incepted Terminus Signal drives roving clans of homicidal lunatics to exterminate these Immunes to a last number.During the course of their apocalyptic odyssey, one such band of desperate survivors must overcome petty, pre-Terminus differences to form life-and-death bonds strong enough to withstand the actual end of their world. While fighting for their lives, this hastily assembled family will ultimately uncover the sinister truth of Terminus, and then they must confront and somehow overcome the horrific realities of global extinction as they undertake Simian's Walk.

Violence Redeeming

Violence Redeeming

Stephen Donald Huff

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2011
pokkari
Though doting parents often teach their children the futility of violence, every rational human being also understands the hypocrisy inherent in such lessons, since life surrounds us with countless examples of practical solutions wrought in savagery. While each act of brutality inevitably debases all humankind, a maladjusted minority also recognize in it a tempting potential to make quick return on a prized reward. Perspective, then, becomes a matter of outcomes. Most of us will experience violence demeaning; few of us will know violence redeeming. Journey into the surreal and mysterious in "Constant Is the Sound", "Listen, Darling", "Tending the Garden of Evil", "Magicus", and "Airport". Have a frighteningly good time reading "They Walk", "The Tollbooth", and "Defile". Experience the true horror that is contemporary reality in "Bus Driver, Bus Driver", "Fatty, Fatty", and "Scrawl", or take a trip into the darkness of the past in "Spin the Wheels for Ill" and "Envoy to Klis".

Shores of Silver Seas

Stephen Donald Huff

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2011
pokkari
Humankind knows countless destinations, whether of mountain, river, meadow or lake. Each domain offers a unique experience, and, so, each attracts visitors with common yet specific interests. Of all destinations, sandy beaches may provide the archetypal candidate for recreational pursuits, and merest mention of the locale invites visions of loungers, cocktails and palm fronds stirring before a moist ocean breeze. Travel there now to wade through a surging surf toward a sanctuary beach, but be warned and beware... both treasure and tragedy beckon from shores of silver seas. Weather violent tides of contemporary angst with "The Ant", "At the Very Far Away Ends of It All", "The Disease That Rots the World", "An Abiding Silence", "This Little Patch of Grass That is Mine", "Down in the Dark Where the Devil Dwells", "The Lawn Boy", and "Whispers".

Then, as you stroll along the lapping edge, delve into the surreal and bizarre with "The Immaculate", "The Mountains Keep Their Dead", "The Road to Texas", "To Shovel Sandy Beaches", "Punching God", and "It Happened in the Groves".

Wee, Wicked Whispers

Wee, Wicked Whispers

Stephen Donald Huff

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2011
pokkari
Calamity often follows a violent shout, but we have more to fear from the occasional wee, wicked whisper. This is the medium of humanity's most despicable tongue, for a quick whisper is the requisite mode of lies, the self-serving gloat of torment, the insidious confidence of slander, and the preferred protocol of psychosis. Lovers reveal their most intimate and personal secrets on a breathless hiss, while murderous psychopaths use the same hushed voice to lure intended victims. Listen to the wicked whispers of vain success in "Ravenous Is the Void" and "She Comes, the Devil". Voyage into the surreal with "Eidetic", "The Machine's Manifesto", "Ed? Is That You?", "The Wrong Side of Backwards", "Paw Paw Conjures", and "We are for Texas". Satisfy your science fiction 'sweet tooth' with "The Violent Kind", "Emerald Planet", "The Hole", "Long Is the Journey, Short Is the Sojourn" and "Zu-Zu's Petals", before you travel into the past through "Toltaca" and "Forever Comes the Storm". When you catch your breath, try to shake off the chills emanating from "The House Next Door", "Scraps", "Mortimer's Last Race", "Shit", "The Disturbing Case of: Rain", "A Working Man", "Through the Meadows Go", "Jo-Jo's Big Day", "Vengeance Is Mine", and "Black River".

Dark Matter

Dark Matter

Stephen Donald Huff

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
pokkari
It shapes our cosmos by confining the stars and is, perhaps, the interstellar sire of human spawn. Within each mind Dark Matter abides, the primordial ancestor of all things chaotic, violent and destructive. Gravitational and inert, it unyieldingly obsesses our most deviant desires while alternately flinging our most violent impulses into the fringes of destructive behavior. Take time to embrace the Dark Matter of life, if only because it is utterly inescapable. Explore the horror of contemporary darkness when you read "Ogre", "Cassandra's Cat", "Redemption", "King Charlemagne Ebersol", "Perverse", "Dorry's Dilemma", and "Poop Love". Apocalyptic visions are, by nature, dark experiences, as you will enjoy in "Radiance and the Lingering", "Maxim One", and "Reaper". Confront darkly dystopian futures in "All My Befores and Afters", "Mate", and "Veer". Voyage into surreal shadow within "Never the Twain Shall Meet", "A Clockworks Harlequin", "The Forever Man", "In Lividity of Dreams", "Pyatak", "Clandestine Incandescence", and "Eleven". Celebrate shades of history in "Semper Fidelis".

The Serpentine

The Serpentine

Stephen Donald Huff

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2016
pokkari
In the Common Era year 2113, Major Maximillia Brandenburg activated humankind's first rendition of a differential gravity drive, momentarily exiting the multiverse and consequently cheating the physical barricade prohibiting faster-than-light travel. Humanity began to fill their empty galaxy, one habitable planet at a time. Ultimately, through the course of the next three hundred years, the bulk of human travel and interstellar commerce would transpire between these established flexure-points along a cosmic highway called "The Serpentine".Insatiable as always, humankind's thirst for fuel only expanded with the advent of interstellar travel along this sprawling cosmic highway. To supply its gluttonous demands, the Company dispatched a ruthless agent to the galactic frontier to procure fuel without regard for method or cost. Trillions of desperate citizens have come to depend upon him for survival. Unfortunately for them all, he has become psychopathically insane. To restore order a small troupe of mercenaries must hunt him down amid the galaxy's darkest heart, and then destroy him.

Terminus

Terminus

Stephen Donald Huff

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2016
pokkari
Civilization deconstructed itself like a riot in a madhouse. One minute it all functioned with a standard sort of craziness, and the next it devolved into ten billion psychotic inmates at each other's throats like suddenly sprung animals. Survivors refer to civilization's final irrational act as 'Terminus', but this is an unofficial label. It simply gives them a handle with which to wield the concept of their end times. It bifurcates their memory. Before. After. In between, an unspeakable river of blood.In the aftermath, a handful of guilt-wracked holdouts stumble onto a terrible secret. They discover the cause of the catastrophe, but the answers they find only beg further questions. Resolving this last great mystery soon becomes a matter of life and death, and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. To learn the final truth and save their species, they must cross a blood-soaked wasteland where they confront and overcome hordes of crazed lunatics and ravenous chimeras to investigate the long-standing enigma we call "Area-51". Post-apocalyptic revenge is sweet

Death Eidolons

Death Eidolons

Stephen Donald Huff

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2014
pokkari
Modern cultures are awash in in the reflections of humankind's primitive past. Often, only graven images of ancient violence pass through eons of time to speak to us today, and it is these Death Eidolons that enable us to understand the darkest point of our collective origins. Whether looming implacably through a dense jungle tangle or winking grotesquely through the uncertain blue light of our television sets, we cannot escape countless contemporary examples of our own wicked inhumanity, which most of us daily constrain with a sheer and most tenuous mastery. Experience the surreal by reading "The Spiral Stair", "Far World Voyager", "Alien Abductions", "Hinterlands", "Pablo's People", "Mercy, In Black" and "Walk a Day with a Devil". Wander the ghostly realms of "He Calls Fridays with the Rain", "Grandma Moses", and "Dames, Dives and Death". Witness the future as foretold in "Freedom in a Cage", "Recom ", "Dinosaur ", "Die Ball", "Devilfish", and "Lucky Thirteen", and then "Let Slip the Dogs of War", explore "Devil's Tower", encounter ominous "Night Visitors", get to know "Misters Monster" and "Horrid Torrid" of a stormy evening. Meet the face of contemporary evil in "The Road to Hell", "Prison in the Sky", "Mr. Accident", and "Mr. S", and enjoy the adventure of "Plastic Wayfarers", "We, Grifters Three", "The Poppy Express", and "The Dumping Game". Feel the redemption of love when you find yourself "In the Devils Hands", and when you read "Hate and Loathing", "Bernie's Thing" and "Midway".

In Lividity of Dreams

Stephen Donald Huff

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
pokkari
When we dream of falling, we inevitably awaken at the moment of impact. When we run for our lives from nightmare monsters, we invariably rouse before the bloodthirsty end. Myth and folklore imply we die in the waking world when we die in our dreams, and this is why living human beings never dream all the way through such slumberous events. This assertion begs a question. How many of the dead have suffered such fates? Countless anonymous people populate our night visions. Who are they? What becomes of them when we lay violent hands upon them in lividity of dreams?
