Science In The Sea-Can The Scientists Endure 200 Mile Jurisdiction?: A Case Study Of The R/V Trident 1973-1975, Barbara Ray Apr 1978

Science In The Sea-Can The Scientists Endure 200 Mile Jurisdiction?: A Case Study Of The R/V Trident 1973-1975, Barbara Ray

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

Before the 1958 Continental Shelf Convention scientists were free to do their research anywhere in the oceans except within a narrow band of territorial waters. Since that time national jurisdiction has closed off increasing amounts of the sea. Most coastal areas and continental shelf areas now require coastal state consent prior to commencing work. Possible reasons for this closure include 1) fear of natural resource exploitation, 2) fear of military exploitation, or 3) growing feelings of nationalism among the developing countries. This paper is divided into two parts. The first deals at length with the development of the issue of …

Foreword, Patsy T. Mink Apr 1978

Foreword, Patsy T. Mink

San Diego Law Review

In this foreword, the writing claims that the major dimensions of the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) remains a major systematic conflict among diverse national and international perspectives, values, norms, and expectations. The sixth session of UNCLOS has highlighted the highly politicized nature of economics in relations among nations, the growing capacity of developing countries to identify and coalesce around mutually perceived core interests, and the highly confrontational nature of the dialogue between developed and developing states.


A Constitution For The Oceans: Comments And Suggestions Regarding Part Xi Of The Informal Composite Negotiating Text, Elisabeth Mann Borgese Apr 1978

A Constitution For The Oceans: Comments And Suggestions Regarding Part Xi Of The Informal Composite Negotiating Text, Elisabeth Mann Borgese

San Diego Law Review

The author makes several comments on Part XI and suggestions for how it could be reformed to accommodate developing nations in trying to create a new world economic order.


Different Approaches To International Regulation Of Exploitation Of Deep-Ocean Ferromanganese Nodules, F. L. La Que Apr 1978

Different Approaches To International Regulation Of Exploitation Of Deep-Ocean Ferromanganese Nodules, F. L. La Que

San Diego Law Review

This article examines the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches to international regulation of the exploitation of ferromangense nodules. Some of the approaches considered are licensing of an independent operator by a UN Seabed Authority, a "contract for services" alternative, a joint venture arrangement, or direct exploitation. The author claims that effects on the economies of developing nations, the transfer of technology, and the location of land-based processing plants and the control of distribution of metals from nodules need not be considered as critical factors in the choice of approaches to the regulation of deep-ocean mining.


Custom And Land-Based Pollution Of The High Seas, James E. Hickey Jr. Apr 1978

Custom And Land-Based Pollution Of The High Seas, James E. Hickey Jr.

San Diego Law Review

This article explores existing legal sources to determine whether customary international law applies to land-based pollution of the high seas. The author begins by defining some important terms including "land-based pollution of the high seas" and "customary international law". The author then discusses customary international law as it applies to the high seas and makes analogies to international rivers, air pollution, the law of hostile expeditions, and outer space. The author addresses customary international law that has been in existence since 1958 including treaties, declarations of international bodies, and published commentary.

Controlling "Pirate" Broadcasting, Mitchell J. Hanna Apr 1978

Controlling "Pirate" Broadcasting, Mitchell J. Hanna

San Diego Law Review

This comment examines the problem of "pirate" broadcasting. "Pirate" broadcasting is used in this comment to describe radio and television broadcasting from ships or fixed structures located on the high seas that effectively allow the broadcasters to avoid regulation by coastal states. The author starts by discussing extraterritorial jurisdiction and why it must considered while discussing "pirate" broadcasting. The author then gives a historical background of "pirate broadcasting" including attempts to prevent it. Finally, the author discusses action taken by the United Nations against "pirate broadcasting".


Territorial Status Of Deepwater Ports, Gordon Earl Dunfee Apr 1978

Territorial Status Of Deepwater Ports, Gordon Earl Dunfee

San Diego Law Review

This comment examines the legal status of offshore deepwater ports built to accommodate supertankers. The author argues that a deepwater port may be used in delimination of the territorial sea. The author goes on to analyze the necessity of territorial status for deepwater ports. The author also examines the circumstances that permit the expansion and resulting delimination of the coastal State's territorial sea. Finally, the author discusses the United States Deepwater Port Act of 1974, which might be the first unilateral declaration dealing with superports.


Cultural Resources Preservation And Underwater Archaeology: Some Notes On The Current Legal Framework And A Model Underwater Antiquities Statute, James Kevin Meenan Apr 1978

Cultural Resources Preservation And Underwater Archaeology: Some Notes On The Current Legal Framework And A Model Underwater Antiquities Statute, James Kevin Meenan

San Diego Law Review

This note examines the legal facets of underwater archaeology and the preservation of cultural resources on the seabed. The author begins by discussing the question of who has jurisdiction to regulate and preserve cultural resources on the seabed. The author then moves on to examine antiquities legislation presently in existence and the possibility of extending or modifying it to cover underwater archaeology. The author concludes that the basic principles of the model statute might be useful in creating new laws that will extend the historic preservation all the way to the seabed.


Legal Claims To Newly Emerged Islands, Jimmy L. Verner Jr. Apr 1978

Legal Claims To Newly Emerged Islands, Jimmy L. Verner Jr.

San Diego Law Review

This comment explores the law regarding the ownership of newly emerging islands. Specifically, the comment examines who might claim ownership of newly emerged islands between the Volcano and Mariana Islands and under what theories these claims could be made. The author begins by discussing the use of existing seabed claims to claim newly emerged islands. The author then discusses how the theories of contiguity, occupation, and discovery might be used to claim newly emerged islands. The author concludes by discussing the political feasibility of such claims and the possible effect the UNCLOS III would have.


The Innocent Passage Of Warships In Foreign Territorial Seas: A Threatened Freedom, Lawrence Wayne Kaye Apr 1978

The Innocent Passage Of Warships In Foreign Territorial Seas: A Threatened Freedom, Lawrence Wayne Kaye

San Diego Law Review

This comment explores the right of warships to make innocent passage through foreign territorial seas. The understanding of many nations regarding the 1958 Convention on the Territorial Sea and Contiguous Zone was that all ships on a peaceful mission are allowed to move through foreign territorial waters without restriction. However, an increasing number of coastal states have begun requiring prior notice before allowing warships innocent passage. The author explores the background of this issue as well as the contentions of both sides. The author concludes that the future is gloomy for the principle of innocent passage as applied to warships.

United States Interests In A Convention On The Law Of The Sea: The Case For Continued Efforts, Jonathan I. Charney

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Over 150 nations have been engaged in the negotiation of a multilateral Convention on the Law of the Sea at the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea for more than five years. The negotiations have included virtually every possible issue involving relations between nations with respect to the oceans, such as fishing, national jurisdiction, navigation, environment, scientific research, seabed exploitation, and transfer of technology.' The current product of that negotiation is the Informal Composite Negotiating Text (ICNT), a 198-page document containing 303 treaty articles plus seven annexes. Although the participating nations agree on much of the …
