Distant-water fishing, that is, fishing in areas far removed from a country's domestic waters, existed well before the 19th century industrialization with, for example, Europeans fishing for Atlantic cod... off Newfoundland... Increasing competition between domestic and foreign fishing vessels for national fisheries resources was one of the motivations behind the series of international negotiations in the 1970s and 1980s, leading to the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea...

The Latin American Meeting on Aspects of the Law of the Sea... declares as common principles of the Law of the Sea :... The right of the coastal State to establish the limits of its maritime sovereignty or jurisdiction in accordance with reasonable criteria, having regard to its geographical, geological and biological characteristics, and the need to make rational use of its resources;... to take regulatory measures for the aforementioned purposes, applicable in the areas of its maritime sovereignty or jurisdiction...

OBS

Since the first U. N. Conference on the Law of the Sea, held at Geneva in 1958, experts in international law have established a consensus attributing to the term "law of the sea" a meaning quite distinct from that of the body of rules and practice known as "admiralty" or "maritime law" and traditionally administered by the admiralty courts of Great Britain, Canada and of the U. S. A.

OBS

for "international law of the sea" : Before 1958, some authors specified the "international" law of the sea, in order to differentiate it from maritime law relating to shipping, commerce, navigation and, generally, maritime affairs under the particular jurisdiction of sovereign states. The adjunct "international", no longer necessary, is now but implied when mentioning the law of the sea in its contemporary usage, that relating to maritime spaces and activities regulated under international treaties.

Maritime territory, a term in international maritime law to denote coastal waters which, although not within the strict territorial waters limit, are in direct contact with the open sea.

CONT

There is no limitation over the dominion of maritime territory. A bay or gulf, no matter how large, that cannot be held to be part of an open ocean highway is considered to be the maritime territory of the nation which occupies its shores, as, for example, the Gulf of St. Lawrence would be the maritime territory of Canada. A strait, of which both shores are within a national boundary, is also considered to be maritime territory, and the passage of foreign ships through it can be forbidden. But where the two shores of a strait are held by different countries, as for example Britain and France in the case of the Straits of Dover, the water between the shores cannot be claimed as maritime territory by either nation but is an international ocean highway.

In 1964, Congress passed the Bartlett Act(Pub. L. No 88-308, 78 Stat. 194) which excluded foreign vessels from fishing within the United States’ territorial sea, defined as all ocean waters within three miles from the coast. Two years later, Congress passed the Contiguous Fisheries Zone Act(Pub. L. No. 89-658, 80 Stat. 908), which created a nine-mile contiguous zone extending out from the three-mile limit, from which foreign fishing vessels would be excluded. These acts and treaties failed to protect U. S. fisheries as they were intended to. The Bartlett Act provided no authority for federal management measures, limiting the federal government's role to data collection and law enforcement against foreign fishers. Other nations also found their fisheries to be suffering, as most treaties provided no means of enforcement against nations who had not chosen to enter into an agreement. As a result, several countries moved to extend the area of their marine jurisdiction. By 1975, of the parties involved in ongoing law-of-the-sea negotiations, sixty nations including the United States, favored a twelve-mile territorial sea and a two-hundred-mile resource conservation zone.

The International Ocean Institute has the honour to announce the "Arvid Pardo Award" for Research on the Concept of the Common Heritage". This Award was created by the Institute in 1992 and first awarded in 1997. Through this award the International Ocean Institute wishes to pay tribute to Arvid Pardo, the father of the contemporary Law of the Sea, the inspirer of the pacem in Maribus Conferences and the International Ocean Institute. It was the global vision, knowledge and intellectual integrity of Arvid Pardo, together with his lucid presentation of the proposals in 1967, that convinced the United Nations General Assembly to convene the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea. Special tribute must be paid to Arvid Pardo for his imagination and clear justification of the principle of the Common Heritage of Mankind in his presentations to the General Assembly and subsequently during the initial considerations thereof.

The South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency(FFA), formed by member countries of the South Pacific Forum in 1979, is based in Honiara, Solomon Islands. The agency was formed in response to the far-reaching changes taking place in the 1960s and 1970s in the international Law of the Sea, and the steadily increasing level of commercial tuna fishing in the Central and Western Pacific. The Functions of FFA are to provide scientific, commercial, and technical information, and advice to member countries in relation to the "living marine resources of the region and in particular the highly migratory species. "Within that broad scope, under the direction of the Forum Fisheries Committee, FFA has concentrated on assisting its members in the sustainable management and development of their tuna resources.

Universally recognized rule by which men-of-war of a littoral state can pursue into the open sea, seize, and bring back into port for trial any foreign merchant vessel that has violated the law while in the territorial waters of that state.

CONT

The right of hot pursuit ceases as soon as the ship pursued enters the territorial sea of its own country or of a third State.

OBS

The term "right of hot pursuit" has been officially established by the Convention on the High Seas, done at Geneva on 29 April 1958. It is the only correct term in usage to express the concept described by some authors under the key-word "right of pursuit" which is misleading because, as the international convention rules in its article 23: "The hot pursuit of a foreign ship may be undertaken ... and may only be continued outside the territorial sea or the contiguous zone if the pursuit has not been interrupted." This condition requires the inclusion of the adjective "hot" within the full term, in order to express without ambiguity the underlying concept.

In former times International Law empowered States when war was impending, or at its outbreak, to lay an embargo upon all enemy merchantmen in their harbours in order to confiscate them. Further, enemy merchantmen at sea could at the outbreak of war be captured and confiscated, although they did not even know of the outbreak of war. As regards enemy merchantmen in the harbours of the belligerents, it became, from 1854, during the Crimean War, a usage followed by some countries that no embargo should be laid on them for the purpose of confiscating them, and that a reasonable time, so-called days of grace, should be granted them to depart unmolested; but no rule was in existence until the Second Hague Conference of 1907, which produced a Convention(VI.) "relative to the Status of Enemy Merchant-ships at the Outbreak of hostilities».

  • Law of the Sea
CONT

Natural Entrance Points : These are the points at which the coastline can most reasonably be said to turn inward to form an indentation or bay. In the history of the law of bays and its codification, this is a new term. It appears to be about as accurately expressive of the natural conditions envisioned for a juridical bays as any that can be devised. Although never appearing in the Drafts of the United Nations International Law Commission on the law of the sea, it was used in the opinion of the Court in United Kingdom v. Norway. Other and older terms which have been used are mouth of the bay, headlands, or inter fauces terrae(sometimes called inter fauces terrarum).

Domaine(s)

DEF

Dans l'étranglement des terres. Expression latine employée surtout par la doctrine britannique en vue de déterminer si un espace constitue des eaux maritimes intérieures à partir desquelles sera fixée la limite de la mer territoriale.

CONT

«Si la ceinture des eaux territoriales doit suivre la ligne extérieure du «skjaergaard», si la méthode des lignes de base droites doit dans certains cas être admise, il n'y a aucune raison valable de les tracer seulement à travers les baies, ... et de ne pas les tracer aussi entre les îles, îlots et rochers, à travers les espaces d'eau qui les séparent, alors même que ces espaces ne rentrent pas dans la notion de baie. Il suffit qu'ils se trouvent compris entre les formations insulaires du «skjaergaard», inter fauces terrarum.»
