The Effects Of A Twelve Mile Limit For The Territorial Sea, Richard J. Brennan
The Effects Of A Twelve Mile Limit For The Territorial Sea, Richard J. Brennan
Theses and Major Papers
A treaty setting the limit of territorial waters at twelve miles will probably be negotiated and accepted by most nations in the near future. In areas not involving straits, this limit will have both beneficial and harmful effects, but it appears to be the best solution that can be achieved. However, in order to ensure that confidence in the free use of the oceans is maintained, the United States should attempt to have included in the treaty a provision for a channel of high seas through international straits. Agreement to such a provision will be difficult to obtain and if …
Planning Aspects Of Pollution Control, Donald T. Cannell
Planning Aspects Of Pollution Control, Donald T. Cannell
Theses and Major Papers
Pollution control and abatement has become a national social goal but improvement impeded by lack of adequate resource allocation. The uncertainties of technology, financing, nature, politics, law and institutionalism must be evaluated by corporate and government planners to find long-run solutions. The evaluation of the sensitivity of planning recommendations to the uncertainty involved in this multi-variate problem, along with national economic shifts caused by alternative abatement funding programs is critical in formulating the “best” plan to ensure success of the national program.
The Historic End Of Closed Seas, James Edward Grise
The Historic End Of Closed Seas, James Edward Grise
Theses and Major Papers
The purpose of this paper is to consider the rather vague claims to closed seas by the Soviet Union and to determine what direction these claims are taking. The first part of the paper deals with the history and development of the closed seas concept and expands it into the present day claims in this area. It attempts to show how some of the past claims have remained over the years and how some of the others have progressed to claims of historic waters. In the final section an attempt is made to show some method for resolving some of …
Natural Sovereignty On The High Seas, Thomas Arthur Marnane
Natural Sovereignty On The High Seas, Thomas Arthur Marnane
Theses and Major Papers
The purpose of this paper is to examine a current dispute involving resources in the sea, determine the issues involved, and hypothesize a solution. Specifically, the dispute chosen involves Latin American claims to extensive sovereign fishery rights in adjacent coastal waters and objections to these claims. The United States and the parties to a declaration made in Santiago, Chile, in 1882, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru, have been chosen as most representative of the opposing positions. The International Court of Justice, primarily utilizing as a framework for analysis the dicta, findings, and opinions in their February 1969 Judgment in the North …
Recommendations For A United States Position Regarding Delimitation Of The Outer Boundary Of The "Legal" Continental Shelves, Brian K. Hannula
Recommendations For A United States Position Regarding Delimitation Of The Outer Boundary Of The "Legal" Continental Shelves, Brian K. Hannula
Theses and Major Papers
The Convention on the Continental Shelf has come under attack because it does not establish a precise outer boundary for the "legal" continental shelf. It is the author's opinion that the United States should propose or support a revision of the Convention which would rectify this situation. A suitable delimitation proposal must have considerable domestic support and should represent the best compromise between opposing domestic views. A proposed revision of the Convention must, also, have strong international support if it is to be adopted. Each nation will determine a preferred delimitation which depends on the configuration of its own continental …
Strategic And Related Considerations In The Development Of A Northwest Passage, Norman E. Larsen
Strategic And Related Considerations In The Development Of A Northwest Passage, Norman E. Larsen
Theses and Major Papers
Environmental factors which have impeded activity in the Arctic, in the past, remain significant barriers to the development of the Northwest Passage. Consequently, enormous capital as well as bilateral planning and cooperation between United States and Canadian public and private agencies will be required if significant progress is to be achieved. The resource wealth of the Arctic promises the economic incentives essential to the eventual development of a transportation system to permit exploitation of these resources. Development of a commercially feasible Northwest Passage is both economically and strategically desirable. However, immense physical and engineering problems remain to be solved.
The Impact Of Conflicting Uses Of The Coastal Zone On Naval Planning And Policy, Thomas M. Ward Jr.
The Impact Of Conflicting Uses Of The Coastal Zone On Naval Planning And Policy, Thomas M. Ward Jr.
Theses and Major Papers
A brief review of the origin of the Navy's coastal real estate holdings and a method of approach to analysis of the present conflicts of multiple use of the coastal zone isused to assess the needs for continued use of these holdingsand provide valid arguments for retention of those that are required. The study also presents a method of analysis that could provide a means for anticipating or resolving conflicting uses of Navy held real estate. The pressure created by an increasing population combined with a reduction of the armed forces necessitates a review of all Navy coastal zone property …
