International Straits of the World, the Legal Regime of the Turkish Straits

In the thirteenth book of the series International Straits of the World, Dr. Nihan Unlu addresses a key international policy question, namely, in the light of the evolving law of the sea and the special role of the International Maritime Organization, should the 1936 Montreux Convention be amended or denounced - or changed by some unilateral act of Turkey. Dr. Unlu explores policy options that will be useful in trying to reconcile the use of a strait not covered by the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention with the exigencies of modern international law.
