The book, The Iran-UAE Gulf Islands Dispute, delves into the complicated history of the Gulf Islands and the laws surrounding territorial disputes. The authors, Luciana Ricart and Charles Buderi, use a range of sources, including historical texts from the Ottoman Empire, the Dutch East India Company, and the British Government, to provide insight into the ownership of three Gulf Islands: Tunbs and the Abu Musa. Both the United Arab Emirates and Iran claim ownership of these islands.
The authors analyze historical events dating back centuries and extend to modern times. Their research leads them to conclusions on the rightful sovereign of the Gulf Islands under international law. These conclusions challenge the positions taken by both the UAE and Iran. This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in Gulf history or international law.
