Small Islands, Big Politics is the first book-length analysis of the issue in the English language and will be indispensable reading for anyone interested in Middle East/Persian Gulf politics, history, and international studies.

Iran write by Carol Mohsen El-Sayed. This book was released on 2003. United Arab Emirates V. Iran available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This study analyzes the UAE v. Iran dispute around the sovereignty over the Persian Gulf islands of Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb according to the rules of international law governing title to territory. The aim is to provide a legal assessment over the ownership of these islands which comprise the most intractable dispute in the region. Following such analysis, the three islands were found to belong to Iran Legal settlement of the conflict was resorted to in this study given the development in legally binding focus of third-party dispute settlement such as the WTO, the International Maritime Court, the International Criminal Court (ICC), as well as an increase in the use of the International Court of Justice (ICJ). However, the majority of inter-Arab territorial conflicts have not been resolved through legal channels. States are generally reluctant to submit their disputes to third-party settlement due to its binding character and no right of appeal. This is especially the case when the dispute involves issues of state sovereignty and territoriality as the Abu Musa and Tunbs dispute. Moreover, the interplay of politics, economics, geo-strategy, environment, nationalism, symbolism, and psyche in this dispute hinders its legal settlement and makes it difficult to achieve any other prospect for settlement in the foreseeable future. At the same time, legal settlement is only resorted to after both parties have exhausted all the peaceful methods of dispute resolution and have reached an impasse over the issue. Therefore, all these elements combined suggest bilateral negotiations followed by mediation as the best mode of settlement for the Abu Musa and Tunbs dispute.

Download and read online ebook The Three Occupied UAE Islands write by Thomas R. Mattair. This book was released on 2005-06-13. The Three Occupied UAE Islands available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Unresolved territorial disputes have historically raised tensions between nations, often leading to regional destabilization and international repercussions. The issue of the three occupied UAE islands – the Greater and Lesser Tunbs and Abu Musa – deserves particular attention because it threatens to undermine regional security and has potential global implications. Given the commanding position of the islands over the major shipping lanes of the Arabian Gulf and their strategic location in the vicinity of important offshore oilfields, the continuing Iranian occupation of these key islands is undoubtedly a matter of international concern. By documenting the historical record and examining the relevant international precedents, this comprehensive study highlights and reinforces the legal and sovereign rights of the United Arab Emirates over the three islands. The study is supported by extensive and meticulous research based on both primary and secondary sources: declassified British and US archival records and original historical documents, relevant legal studies, memoirs of important personalities, interviews with key players and analyses by political commentators. In keeping with the UAE’s policy of seeking a just and peaceful resolution to this dispute, this book aims to promote a better understanding of its complexities by offering fresh insight on the historical, political, legal, regional and international dimensions of the islands issue for the benefit of policy makers, academics, researchers and decision makers concerned with the future security and stability of the Gulf region.
