Atoll Island States exist on top of what is perceived to be one of the planet's most vulnerable ecosystems: atolls. It has been predicted that an increase in the pace of sea level rise brought about by increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere will cause them to disappear, forcing their inhabitants to migrate. The present book represents a multidisciplinary legal and engineering perspective on this problem, challenging some common misconceptions regarding atolls and their vulnerability to sea-level rise. Coral islands have survived past changes in sea levels, and it is the survival of coral reefs what will be crucial for their continued existence. These islands are important for their inhabitants as they represent not only their ancestral agricultural lands and heritage, but also a source of revenue through the exploitation of the maritime areas associated with them. However, even if faced with extreme climate change, it could theoretically be possible for the richer Atoll Island States to engineer ways to prevent their main islands from disappearing, though sadly not all will have the required financial resources to do so. As islands become progressively uninhabitable their residents will be forced to settle in foreign lands, and could become stateless if the Atoll Island State ceases to be recognized as a sovereign country. However, rather than tackling this problem by entering into lengthy negotiations over new treaties, more practical solutions, encompassing bilateral negotiations or the possibility of acquiring small new territories, should be explored. This would make it possible for Atoll Island States in the future to keep some sort of international sovereign personality, which could benefit the descendents of its present day inhabitants.

Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 1,2, University of Heidelberg (Max-Planck-Institut für ausländisches öffentliches Recht und Völkerrecht), course: Master of International Law - Investment, Trade and Arbitration, language: English, abstract: What we only know from films and history, like the history of Atlantis from the ancient times, will become reality in the nearest future. In the South Pacific, one of the greatest inundations in the world's history threats including the loss of territory for various islands and, in the worst case, the loss of a whole Island State - of the low-lying coral atoll island State Kiribati. The question raises if there does not yet exist neither a migration plan nor an answer to the question, what happens with the State Kiribati when it will be inundated. The cause for that phenomenon is one of the very present problems in the world's discussion: the Climate Change. "Climate Change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and climate-effected hazards have direct and irreversible consequences on people, property, business, financial systems, and state institutions worldwide." However, the phenomenon of the Climate Change is well-known nowadays, and material for discussion, the International Law offers only a few approaches and rarely solutions for the urgent threat. In this particular research project, it will be tried to resolve the question, how to define a State without territory if the territory will be inundated.

What happens under international law if a state perishes due to rising sea levels without a successor state being created? Will the state cease to exist? What would this mean for its population? Have international law and globalization progressed enough to protect the people thus affected, or does international law still depend on the territorial state when it comes to protecting entire populations? Exploring these issues, this book provides answers to these pressing questions. Focusing on small island states as actors in the international community, it evaluates the challenges that the state as a subject of international law faces in general from globalization and humanization, and what this means for small island states threatened by rising seas. Highlighting the experience of the indigenous peoples of small island states as collectives, and to the individuals living in these states, the book addresses fundamental questions of general state theory and international law, drawing on an extensive body of source material. As rising sea levels present an increasingly pressing threat to small island states, this book highlights the importance of international protection of the individual and the capacity of international organizations to act within existing international law. It identifies pressing problems where immediate action is required and argues that, in future, the responsibility for protecting individuals could shift to the international community, if a sinking island state can no longer protect its population on its own.

Islands and their status in international law have become one of the more contentious issues in public international law. However, despite this, there is no contemporary book-length study on the question. This book fills that gap. Written by one of the world's leading public international lawyers, it offers an authoritative overview of how public international law operates in relation to islands. Key issues such as artificial islands, archipelagos, sovereignty, territorial rights, maritime entitlements, and governance are explored in depth. This will become a classic text in the field of international law.
