The Law Of The Sea: International Law Implications Of The U.S. Refusal To Sign The Treaty, Richard D. Coogan
The Law Of The Sea: International Law Implications Of The U.S. Refusal To Sign The Treaty, Richard D. Coogan
Theses and Major Papers
This study is undertaken to show the impact of the international law aspects of the Law of the Sea Treaty as they relate to the U.S. failure to sign the Treaty. The U.S. has embarked on a course of action, by its refusal to sign the Treaty, that can have major impact on day-to-day national policy issues as they relate to international law governing a state's behavior. The U.S., in refusing to sign the Treaty because of the deep seabed provisions, and yet claiming other provisions as reflecting customary law, is probably correct as viewed in today's realities.

A universal 200 mile EEZ could be a death knell for the high-seas fishing fleets we know today as the majority of the major fishing grounds lie within 200 miles of the coast.

Offshore Jurisdiction And Federal-State Relations: The 12 Nautical Mile Territorial Sea And The Tidelands Controversy, Jeremy D. Wiese
Theses and Major Papers
Recently, after several decades of negotiations, the United States, acting through the President, opted not to sign the United Nations Law of the Sea Treaty. In the aftermath of this decision those individuals involved with marine affairs are beginning to examine the Treaty's separate provisions to ascertain those which the U.S. may embrace under the auspices of customary international law. To date, this examination has led to a Presidential Proclamation generating an Exclusive Economic Zone for the U.S. Jurisdictionally, the next logical step would be U.S. adoption of the 12 nautical mile limit for its territorial sea. Indeed, movement in …
