The Transit Regime for Landlocked States: Uprety, Kishor. Law, Justice and Development Series, The World Bank
Uprety's book summarizes the position of most jurists, over the last six decades, regarding the right of transit. States whose economic lives and development depend upon access to enclaves which belong to them, may claim their right of transit; alongside this right is the right of a "dominant state", the state of transit, to "international servitude," meaning that the state of transit is obligated to facilitate passage through its territory to the enclave, and to undertake all that such passage necessitates.
