Vincent Cogliati-Bantz is Senior Lecturer at the TC Beirne School of Law, University of Queensland, Australia.
This book examines the concept of nationality of means of transportation in the general framework of jurisdiction in international law and reassesses what nationality is and how it is conferred. The various means of transportation ships, aircraft, and spacecraft on which nationality can be conferred are considered, looking at the law of the sea conventions and air and space treaties. The book then analyses the legal status of international organizations to determine whether the right to register a means of transportation is exclusively reserved to States and whether, and under what conditions, international organizations may also act as a 'State' of registration.
