Abstract
Dispute settlement procedures under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) can be a great laboratory for observing judicial processes of exploring and testing the acceptability of multiple solutions to issues of interpretation through a battle of ideas among LOSC adjudicators. The analysis observes that LOSC tribunals tend towards two jurisprudential patterns when battling their ideas: (1) the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) takes an implicit approach of deviating from previous case law of other LOSC tribunals; and (2) Annex VII arbitral tribunals have been quite straightforward when facing a diverging interpretative discourse. This article explains the institutional dynamics underpinning these two jurisprudential patterns. Calibrating judicial reasoning of the ITLOS is proposed, which would hopefully stimulate a vibrant battle of ideas facilitating coherent development of international law.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law addresses all aspects of marine and coastal law. In addition to normal in-depth scholarly articles, the Journal contains a distinctive feature: a vigorous ‘Current Legal Developments’ section which provides notes and commentary on international treaties and case law, national statute law, national court decisions, and other aspects of state practice; includes the relevant original documentation where appropriate; and monitors developments in relevant international organizations at a global and regional level. The format also includes a book review section.
