A Proposal On The Law Of The Sea, Alexander Nadesan

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

There has been no agreement until now on the breadth of the territorial sea. This study proposes a uniform law on the breadth of the territorial sea. The concept of the three-mile limit is reviewed briefly. The question of national security is analyzed and the consequences of extending the breadth of the territorial sea beyond six miles is also discussed.
