It is a truism that the increasingly rapid movement in technology
is forcing change and shift in the norms of international law. The
149 states of the Law of the Sea Conferences of the United Nations
have been attempting to establish and develop adequate legal norms
that will take into account the need for the orderly growth and use
of the changing technological capabilities and the resulting
economic development that cannot and should not be hindered by in
adequate law. When such norms are identified and agreed by a
substantial majority of states, they are usually set out and placed
into multilateral treaties. The rules governing the resource and
non-resource allocation of the oceans and the uses ofthe oceans
have posed major difficulties for the development of international
law for many years. The Geneva Conference of 1958 building upon the
groundwork of the International Law Commission of the United
Nations shaped a rough structure for a 20th Century Law of the Seas
and for mulated the effort in four major international conventions.
But a majority of the states failed to ratify or accede to the
conventions. Even had they become effec tive as the expression of
the Law of the Seas in the second half of the 20th Cen tury, there
was one glaring area of omission: a conventional law for the waters
of mid-ocean archipelagos and archipelagic states.
