Muscat Dhows Arbitration: The Counter-case

Meer over het boek

This book is a historic record of a legal case heard by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, Netherlands, in 1905. The case was brought by the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman, which accused British-ruled India of interfering with Omani trade by confiscating Omani dhows. The book includes official documents, legal arguments, witness testimony, and the court's final decision. This is a fascinating glimpse into a little-known chapter of colonial history, and its impact on the people and economies of the Persian Gulf region.
