Samenvatting

The MOX Plant Case was an international environmental dispute relating tot the authorisation and operation of a mixed oxide ("MOX") plant on the British coast of the Irish Sea. Ireland commenced arbitral proceedings against the United Kingdom under two different treaties in 2001. The award in the first arbitration, the OSPAR Arbitration, was published in an earlier volume of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) Award Series. This volume contains a record of the proceedings from 2001 to 2008 relating to the second arbitration, which was brought under Annex VII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and for which the PCA served as registry. Proceedings related to this second arbitration were also conducted before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and the Court of Justice of the European Communities.

Dr. Nico Schrijver, Professor of International Law and Acadamic Director of the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies at Leiden University, provides an introduction to this volume in which he addresses the contribution of the MOX Plant Case to international law.
