Forensics of a Forgery

THIS PUBLICATION

>From the 1930’s until its final resolution in the International Court of Justice in 2001, a border dispute between the Persian Gulf nations of Bahrain and Qatar simmered, and sometimes boiled over. The turbulent history of the disputed land and marine territory included among its players the Ottoman and British Empires, the United States, and virtually all of the countries of the Arabian Gulf. It was an historical tableau that included oil, territorial, and cultural politics within the context of the evolving national identities of the Gulf states.

When the merits phase of the ICJ case began in 1996, Bahrain identified 82 forged documents which had been submitted to the Court by Qatar. This publication brings together the September 1997, December 1997 and March 1998 submissions by Bahrain's experts to the International Court regarding these forged documents. This publication serves to record for historians, and for the legal and forensic communities, all of the work carried out in order to identify and document these forgeries.

This 6-volume boxed set, entitled The Forensics of a Forgery: Bahrain’s Submissions to the International Court of Justice in re: Qatar v. Bahrain, encompasses almost 2,700 pages, and includes over 5,000 full-color graphics & illustrations.
