The maritime zones recognized under international law include internal waters, the territorial sea, the contiguous zone, the exclusive economic zone, the continental shelf, the high seas and the Area. With the exception of the high seas and the Area, each of these maritime zones is measured from the baseline[, ] determined in accordance with customary international law as reflected in the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention.  2, record 1, English, - maritime%20zone

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.  1, record 2, English, - maritime%20territory

It follows from the two rules of international law permitting the local State to exercise jurisdiction over foreign merchant vessels in its waters and the flag State to exercise jurisdiction over them in foreign waters that the two States may have concurrent jurisdiction over acts and events occurring on board foreign ships in inland waters, and subject to the qualifications mentioned elsewhere, in territorial waters.  3, record 3, English, - concurrent%20jurisdiction

The arcs of circles method, which is constantly used for determining the position of a point or object at sea, is a new technique in so far as it is a method for delimiting the territorial sea. This technique was proposed by the United States delegation at the 1930 Conference for the codification of international law. Its purpose is to secure the application of the principle that the belt of territorial waters must follow the line of the coast. It is not obligatory by law...  3, record 4, English, - arcs%20of%20circles%20method

La méthode des arcs de cercle, d'un usage constant pour fixer la position d'un point ou d'un objet en mer, est un procédé technique nouveau en tant que méthode de délimitation de la mer territoriale. Ce procédé a été proposé par la délégation des États-Unis à la Conférence de 1930 pour la codification du droit international. Son but est d'assurer l'application du principe que la ceinture des eaux territoriales doit suivre la ligne de la côte. Il n'a rien de juridiquement obligatoire.

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.  1, record 6, English, - Bartlett%20Act

On sait par ailleurs que la Convention de 1982, en son article 62(2), ne règle que de façon imparfaite la question de la gestion des stocks halieutiques chevauchant la zone économique exclusive d'un État et la haute mer proprement dite. Le Canada est en particulier très affecté par la surpêche étrangère au-delà de sa zone de 200 milles. Il a ainsi adopté une Loi modifiant la Loi sur la protection des pêcheries côtières et soumis à arrestation le 26 juillet deux navires américains qui se livraient à la pêche aux pétoncles au-delà de ses 200 milles.  1, record 7, French, - zone%20de%20200%20milles

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.  4, record 8, English, - right%20of%20hot%20pursuit

International waterways, apart from international rivers and canals, are those which are used frequently by commercial shipping or warships belonging to States other than the nations bordering upon them. According to customary international law merchant ships of all flags are entitled to pass through such straits whether these belong to the territorial waters of the neighbouring States or form part of the high seas. Warships are also entitled to innocent passage but subject to particular rules.  1, record 10, English, - international%20waterway
