Abstract

The present report examines the performance of the Hamburg Tribunal as to procedures of prompt release of vessels and their crews taking into account the doctrine related to this matter and the own Tribunal’s jurisprudence, to later identify their contributions to the development of International Law.

The Tribunal’s significant influence has permitted to clarify how worthy the application of International Law was, and specially of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, providing guidelines to construe substantial questions thereof as well as procedural aspects.

In spite of those predictions that anticipated the failure of the Hamburg Tribunal, its tasks along these first fifteen years have overcome said prophecies. The Tribunal has gained the highest respect from the international community and even Special Rapporteurs of the International Law Commission themselves have started to consider the Tribunal’s jurisprudence as a worthy reference, which fact is quite meaningful.

Definitively, its activities during these first fifteen years shall constitute the most solid milestone of the Law of the Sea and also of International Law along this 21st Century.
