both

Part
III
is
devoted
to
the
effects
of
war
and
various
methods
of
securing,
or
avoiding, the application
of
the
law
of
war.
While
it
is
generally
adequate,
the
author
has
an occasional
ten-
dency
to
confuse
her
view
of
what
the
law
ought
to
be
with
what
the
law
actually
is.
In
particular,
she
would
like
a
uniform
law
of
war
to
apply
to
all
types
of
armed
conflicts,
internal
as
well
as
international.
This
approach
may
indicate
a
desirable
development
in
the
law,
but
it
does
not
reflect
the
law
of
war
as
it
exists
today.
On
balance, this book
is
a
useful
survey
text
which
should
be
of
considerable
assistance
to
those
involved
in
teaching
or
studying
the
law
of
war
at
a
basic
level.

In
this book
Francisco
Orrego
Vicufia
examines
the
nature of
the
exclusive
economic zone
(EEZ)
in
international
law.
Special
attention
is
given
to
the
specific
legal
regimes
into
which
the
activities
of
the
EEZ
are organized, including
those
relating
to
the
living
resources
of
the
superjacent
waters,
the
non-living
resources
of
the
seabed
and
subsoil,
marine
scientific
research,
and
the
protection
of
the
marine environ-
ment.
The
provisions
of
the
1982
Convention
on
the
Law
of
the
Sea
relating
to
the
EEZ,
and
the
conflicting
interpretations
of
these
provis-
ions,
are
carefully
analysed
and
considered
in
the
light
of
the
historical
origins
and development
of
the concept
of
the
EEZ
and
of
the
drafting
history
of
the
provisions
and
their
application
in
the
practice
of
states.
The
legal
nature
of
the
EEZ
is
analysed
not
only in
the
light
of
the
rights
accorded
to
the
coastal
state
by
the
1982
convention
but
also
in
the
light
of
the
rights
accorded
to
other
states
in
matters
such
as
navigation
and
overflight.
The
provisions
of
the convention relating
to
the
settlement
of
disputes are
also
discussed
in
terms
of their
role
