Book Description

In The Iran-UAE Gulf Islands Dispute; Luciana Ricart and Charles Buderi take the reader and history students on a journey through centuries of Gulf history and evolving principles of international law on territorial disputes to reach conclusions over the rightful sovereign of 3 Gulf islands – Tunbs and the Abu Musa – claimed by both the United Arab Emirates and Iran. Drawing on a wide range of scholarly works and archival documents from sources as diverse as the Ottoman Empire; the Dutch East India Company; and the British Government. Ricart and Buderi analyze historical events from antiquity up to modern times. Ultimately; the authors reach conclusions on the ownership of the islands under international law which challenge the positions of both parties.
