Offshore Oil and Gas Development in the Arctic under International Law explores the international legal framework for hydrocarbon development in the marine Arctic. It presents an assessment of the careful balance between States’ sovereign rights to their resources, their obligations to uphold the rights of Arctic inhabitants and their duty to prevent injury to other States. It examines the rights of indigenous and other Arctic populations, the precautionary approach, the environmental impact assessment and the duty to monitor offshore hydrocarbon activities. It also analyses the application of the international law of responsibility in the event that the State fails to meet its primary obligations in the absence of a State’s wrongful conduct.

"All together, this book is strongly recommended. The discussion of how the rules of State responsibility and liability apply in the context of the primary rules, discussed in the first part of the book, is exceptionally well done. Although the title implies that it is a narrow study, it is not. The book raises important questions that should be relevant to anyone who is interested in international law, whether they are students, academics or practitioners. In summary, buy the book, read it and then read it again."
