The Barbados/Trinidad and Tobago Arbitration Award (2006) is the first ever rendered in a maritime delimitation submitted to arbitration pursuant to Annex VII of the 1982 United Nations Convention of the Law of Sea. The Arbitral Tribunal was called upon to decide the delimitation of the exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in the Caribbean Sea region that separates the two island nations. The Final Award establishes a single maritime boundary between Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago and also requires the two States to take steps to conserve fish stocks and ensure certain fishing rights of Barbadian fishermen who had traditionally fished in Trinidad and Tobago waters. Bernard Oxman, the Richard A. Hausler Professor of International Law at the University of Miami, provides an insightful introduction on the contribution of the Award to the law of maritime delimitation.

With a Foreword by Tjaco T. van den Hout, Secretary-General of the Permanent Court of Arbitration and an Introduction by V.V. Veeder Q.C.The Bank for International Settlements Arbitration (2002 and 2003) concerned the compensation to be paid for privately held shares recalled by the Bank for International Settlements on 8 January 2001. The issues in dispute included the lawfulness of the recall of the shares and the applicable standards for valuation of those shares, the adequacy of the amount paid by the Bank for International Settlements for the recalled shares, and the amount of compensation to be paid. The Tribunal's awards contribute greatly to existing jurisprudence on matters such as valuation of an expropriated asset, the award of interest, and the right to damages for breach of an arbitration agreement where one party seeks to bring a claim on the merits before a domestic court.This bi-lingual edition contains the official English version of the awards rendered in the Bank for International Settlements Arbitration, together with the Tribunal's French translation of the awards. A stimulating and lively introduction is provided by V.V. Veeder Q.C., who appraises the contribution of the awards to international law.
