Maritime Jurisdiction And The Secession Of States: The Case Of Quebec, Jonathan L. Charney
Maritime Jurisdiction And The Secession Of States: The Case Of Quebec, Jonathan L. Charney
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
In this Article, Professor Charney discusses the maritime boundary delimitation issues that result from the creation of a new state through secession. While the author uses Quebec's maritime boundary concerns as an exemplar, the issues discussed are not unique to Quebec. The author notes that one cannot predict the ultimate resolution of maritime boundary disputes precisely, but certain factors will often affect the outcome. These factors include the geographical configuration of the disputed area, the viability of pre-secession boundaries, historic water claims, the doctrine of uti possidetis, and basic equity. The author concludes that maritime boundaries are so vital to …
A Comparison Of Soviet And American Maritime Arbitration, Timothy A. Power
A Comparison Of Soviet And American Maritime Arbitration, Timothy A. Power
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Maritime arbitration has a long history both in the United States, where it dates from the late 19th century, and in the Soviet Union, where the permanent arbitration body known as the Maritime Arbitration Commission (MAC or Commission) has existed since 1930. Although both countries have similar procedures for maritime arbitration, the history, ideology, and commercial goals of each country have created systems that differ markedly in approach and style. The American experience has fostered an ad hoc system where the parties establish arbitration panels as disputes arise and where the parties have almost unlimited discretion in choosing arbitrators and …

Multiple Jurisdiction--Will It Save Or Destroy The Oceans? Political Analysis Of A Legal Problem, Charles F. Doran
Multiple Jurisdiction--Will It Save Or Destroy The Oceans? Political Analysis Of A Legal Problem, Charles F. Doran
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The recent trend of claims to the ocean and its riches has led far beyond the liberal twelve nautical mile territorial sea limit that the United States is prepared to recognize. In particular, two documents, the Declaration of Santo Domingo, proposing a "patrimonial sea" of 200 miles, and the draft articles on an "exclusive economic zone" of 200 miles submitted by Kenya, are likely to find much favor at the substantive session of the Third Law of the Sea Conference to be held at Caracas in the summer of 1974. Emerging from conflicts of interest, which have gradually eroded the …
Maritime Jurisdiction Over Fishery Resources, Gilbert T. Davis
Maritime Jurisdiction Over Fishery Resources, Gilbert T. Davis
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Economic necessity and recent developments in marine technology have caused man to begin his move into the sea on a grand scale, occupying and exploiting it for recreation, minerals, food, waste disposal, and possible living space. These new technological advances and the increased need for the traditional fishery resources have precipitated the interests of nations in expanding their exclusive jurisdictions further into an ocean space where it had been traditionally free for all to use. Though this move for exclusive jurisdiction is motivated by the uniform desire of all nations to more efficiently utilize and conserve the resources and to …
