The book "State Responsibility for Interferences with the Freedom of Navigation in Public International Law" offers a comprehensive analysis of the legal framework concerning state responsibility for interferences with the freedom of navigation. It highlights the numerous conventions in the field of maritime law that include provisions for compensation for unlawful interferences with navigation. Given the increasing frequency of such interferences by warships and coast guards, often stemming from a perceived heightened risk of international crimes at sea, the application of compensation provisions is of particular interest. The author, Philipp Wendel, examines the relevant compensation regulations and compares them with the general law of state liability. Important topics such as the responsibility of international organizations and liability for lawful actions are also addressed.
