Compensation And Reward For Saving Life At Sea, Steven F. Friedell

Michigan Law Review

This Article explores the life salvage rules under the general maritime law and under the 1912 life salvage statute. Surprisingly, some life salvors had greater rights under the general maritime law than they have under cases construing the statute. This Article suggests that courts have given insufficient attention to the purposes of the Brussels Salvage Convention of 1910, which inspired the 1912 statute, and that American courts should .remain free to recognize all rights that life salvors possessed before the Brussels Convention.

This Article then considers whether American courts should further expand the rights of life salvors by awarding life …

Introduction, Elliot L. Richardson

San Diego Law Review

For over ten years, in three Conferences and some nine Conference sessions, the United Nations has grappled with the codification and the creation of the Law of the Sea. Numerous writers have recounted the uniqueness and importance of these negotiations and the difficulties in the path of agreement.... When the negotiations recessed temporarily last September in New York, there was strong sentiment on the part particularly of the smaller countries that significant progress must be made on the outstanding issues during the Eighth Session opening this March to justify the continuation of UNCLOS III. I propose to use this introduction …

The Anglo-French Continental Shelf Case, E. D. Brown

San Diego Law Review

The Anglo-French Case (1977-1978) is only the second continental shelf boundary dispute to have been settled by judicial means and the first between parties to the 1958 Geneva Convention on the Continental Shelf. Recognizing the decisions of the Court of Arbitration as an important landmark in the development of continental shelf law, Professor Brown presents a detailed analysis and assessment of the court's decisions in the light of the earlier judgment of the International court of Justice in the North Sea Continental Shelf Cases (1969) and the continuing negotiations in UNCLOS III.

The Politics Of Manganese Nodules: International Considerations And Domestic Legislation, John M. Murphy

San Diego Law Review

The legal regime governing the recovery of deep seabed minerals may be the most difficult issue now confronting the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea. Congressman Murphy discusses unilateral legislation, concluding that it would be fully consonant with prevailing international law and that it would act as a spur to the negotiations of the Conference. He analyzes the Deep Seabed Mining bill in the contexts of the international legal system and the Law of the Sea Conference and urges the United States to enact the bill so that exploration and commercial recovery may proceed.

The Group Of 77 At The United Nations: An Emergent Force In The Law Of The Sea, Alan G. Friedman, Cynthia A. Williams

San Diego Law Review

Authors Friedman and Williams trace briefly the diplomatic history of the Group of 77 in United Nations fora, then detail the role the G-77 plays within the Law of the Sea Conference. By providing illustrations of the G-77 bloc-policy process, the authors construct a model to explain G-77 behavior. They conclude that G-77 unity is now less certain than before because of the many cross-cutting interests at stake in the UNCLOS III milieu. They also cite Western intransigence as a unifying force for the G-77 under the "common enemy" principle.

Military Uses Of Ocean Space And The Developing International Law Of The Sea: An Analysis In The Context Of Peactime Asw, Rex J. Zedalis

San Diego Law Review

Mr. Zedalis examines the international legal prescriptions regulating peacetime military uses of ocean space other than passage through straits used for international navigation. He contrasts the approaches to possible regimes set forth in the 1958 Conventions and in UNCLOS III and assesses each. Finally, he advances which proposal is the most desirable.

Dolphin Conservation In The Tuna Industry: The United States' Role In An International Problem, Laurel Lee Hyde

San Diego Law Review

Thousands of dolphin die annually in the international tuna fishery. This Comment explores the history of that problem and the domestic and international attempts to alleviate it. Foreign legislation, positions of international organizations, and documents of the United Nations Law of the Sea Conference are reviewed as potential sources of an international solution. The Comment emphasizes the need for active United States involvement in international programs, comprehensive data on the dolphin populations, and immediate action to avoid excessive exploitation. It concludes with a suggestion that increased public concern for dolphin may be utilized effectively to support conservation initiatives.
