The Legal Regime Of Enclosed Or Semi-Enclosed Seas: The Particular Case Of The Mediterranean, Paul Gormley May 1992

The Legal Regime Of Enclosed Or Semi-Enclosed Seas: The Particular Case Of The Mediterranean, Paul Gormley

Dalhousie Law Journal

The 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea Convention has not only codified the relatively scant corpus of international law relating to the rubrics of enclosed semi-enclosed seas, but it has also given some guidance toward the future evolution of this unique body of sea law. Accordingly the underlying thesis advanced by a number of distinguished authors at a conference - convened by the Inter-University Center in Dubrovnik - is that the Law of the Sea Convention does not represent a definitive or complete corpus of law; rather the general articles will acquire substance from state practice, bilateral agreements between …


The Theory And History Of Ocean Boundary Making, Elizabeth Maruma Mrema May 1990

The Theory And History Of Ocean Boundary Making, Elizabeth Maruma Mrema

Dalhousie Law Journal

Over the years, Douglas Johnston has written and edited a large body of literature on the subject of ocean boundary making. The "functionalist" approach to ocean boundary which he presents in this book is obviously the result of his careful accumulation of knowledge and experience over many years' involvement with the topic as researcher and writer. While at Dalhousie University in Halifax he had significant and direct involvement with the Ocean Studies Program.


International Organizations And The Law Of The Sea: Documentary Yearbook, 1985, L C. Green Mar 1988

International Organizations And The Law Of The Sea: Documentary Yearbook, 1985, L C. Green

Dalhousie Law Journal

It was only to be expected that upon the adoption of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, there would be a plethora of publications, academic and otherwise, on various aspects of the law of the sea. What is perhaps not generally known is the number of international organizations that have occasion to issue documents relating to the law of the sea, and, even when it is known, these are in such a variety of places that it is almost impossible for any but the most determined researcher to seek them out. The Netherlands Institute for …

It is submitted that a complex regime is in the making.


A Guide To Maritime Boundary Delimitation, Ted L. Mcdorman Mar 1988

A Guide To Maritime Boundary Delimitation, Ted L. Mcdorman

Dalhousie Law Journal

This is not a book for lawyers. This is not a book written by lawyers. It is a book written by hydrographers for hydrographers. However, because the book deals with maritime boundary delimitation it is a book of interest to an audience far beyond hydrographers, since ocean boundaries concern lawyers, political scientists, economists, sociologists, fishermen, resource-specialists and a wide range of other professionals.


The Northwest Passage: Arctic Straits, Ted L. Mcdorman Dec 1985

The Northwest Passage: Arctic Straits, Ted L. Mcdorman

Dalhousie Law Journal

This study, being the seventh volume of the International Straits of the World series and written by a distinguished alumnus of this Law School, is designed primarily for the non-Canadian or Arctic-specialist.

Book Review Of Passion: An Essay On Personality , Richard F. Devlin Frsc Jan 1985

Book Review Of Passion: An Essay On Personality , Richard F. Devlin Frsc

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

Passion is a cogently structured, compel Jingly argued and seductively enthralling masterpiece which, in years to come, will undoubtedly stand out as an inspirational source for many who seek social transformation. Unger's style, in this essay at least, is lucid and inviting. Substantively, Passion demonstrates not only the depth of his penetrating intellect but also his command of an array of' disciplines. Unger's polymathy is all the more impressive when we remember that ours is an era in which idiosyncratic specialization is the norm.


Canada's Arctic Jurisdiction In International Law, Donat Pharand Oct 1983

Canada's Arctic Jurisdiction In International Law, Donat Pharand

Dalhousie Law Journal

The purpose of this study is to make a brief overview of Canada's jurisdiction in the arctic regions, jurisdiction which has developed since the transfer of the Arctic Islands to Canada by Great Britain in 1880. The study will concentrate on Canada's jurisdiction over the water areas of the Arctic, but will also cover the status of the other areas involved. More specifically, the areas to be covered are: 1) the islands; 2) the continental shelf; 3) the waters in general; 4) the Northwest Passage; and 5) the airspace.


The Role Of The Oau Member States In The Evolution Of The Concept Of The Exclusive Economic Zone In The Law Of The Sea: The First Phase, C. Odidi Okidi Mar 1982

The Role Of The Oau Member States In The Evolution Of The Concept Of The Exclusive Economic Zone In The Law Of The Sea: The First Phase, C. Odidi Okidi

Dalhousie Law Journal

One of the main features of the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III) is the role played by the different regional and/or interest groups in the development of the various provisions of the Draft Convention, albeit "Informal" text, adopted at the end of the Resumed Ninth Session in August 1980.1 The groups, sometimes dictated by geography such as Africa, Asia, Latin America, Western European and Eastern European, are amalgams of various interest groups which embody their own contradictions. For example, Canada and Russia have seen themselves in different categories vis-a-vis other industrialized countries. Countries …


Proof Of Offshore Territorial Claims In Canada, Lawrence L. Herman Mar 1982

Proof Of Offshore Territorial Claims In Canada, Lawrence L. Herman

Dalhousie Law Journal

The territorial sea of Canada consists of a 12-mile belt of maritime space extending seaward from the Canadian maritime coastline. I By virtue of international law, this 12-mile maritime belt is considered to be part of the territorial domain of the littoral state.2 As a consequence, the legal limits of Canadian territory extend beyond the low water line along the coasts of Canada to include the area of the 12-mile territorial sea.


The Charting And Safekeeping Of Oceans And Waterways: Legal Implications, P. K. Mukherjee May 1981

The Charting And Safekeeping Of Oceans And Waterways: Legal Implications, P. K. Mukherjee

Dalhousie Law Journal

In the world of shipping and maritime affairs the task of charting the oceans and waterways is one, the indispensability of which cannot be overemphasized. Without nautical charts marine navigation would virtually come to a standstill. The apparent backstage role of chartmakers deserves more attention than is generally accorded them by the beneficiaries of the seas. Chartmaking basically consists of two disciplines, namely, hydrography and cartography. Hydrography is a science dealing with the description of the physical features and conditions of the waters of the earth's surface. Hydrographic surveying is the age-old art of collecting and collating all the data …


Canadian Perspectives On The Future Enforcement Of The Exclusive Economic Zone: A Paper In Diplomacy And The Law Of The Sea, Gerald B. Stanford Jan 1979

Canadian Perspectives On The Future Enforcement Of The Exclusive Economic Zone: A Paper In Diplomacy And The Law Of The Sea, Gerald B. Stanford

Dalhousie Law Journal

Canada's declaration of a 200 mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the forefront of a rush by coastal states to stake their claims to the resources of the seas and the extension of coastal state jurisdiction was considered by some to be pre-empting the outcome of the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea, (UNCLOS III). It is certainly contrary to the call of Ambassador Arvid Pardo in 1967 before the General Assembly of the United Nations, seeking the reservation of the sea-bed and its resources beyond the recognized boundaries of state jurisdiction as "the common heritage …


Marine Policy, Baz Edmeades Jan 1979

Marine Policy, Baz Edmeades

Dalhousie Law Journal

For a good many years, the major law reviews in Canada, the United States, United Kingdom and France have devoted a considerable number of their pages to problems of the law of the sea, as this topic has increased in importance and consequent concern among international lawyers. With this development came the appearance of a number of new law journals dealing with the law of the sea such as the Journal of Maritime Law and Commerce in 1969, Ocean Development and International Law in 1973, the Journal of Coastal Zone Management in 1973 to name but three. These and other …


Legal And Diplomatic Developments In The Northwest Atlantic Fisheries, Douglas M. Johnston Oct 1977

Legal And Diplomatic Developments In The Northwest Atlantic Fisheries, Douglas M. Johnston

Dalhousie Law Journal

Within the astonishingly brief timespan of five or six years, a fundamental change has been wrought in the international law of fisheries. Even to those only fleetingly familiar with current developments in the law of the sea, it is apparent that the establishment of 200-mile fishing zones in many parts of the world must signify a major legal change in the world of fishing. Indeed many of us have already become sufficiently accustomed to the new order that it may be useful to remind ourselves of the old order which has now yielded place to it. The classical approach to …
