Antarctica, one of the world's last great wildernesses, presents
special challenges for international law. Fears that Antarctica
would become a front in the Cold War catalysed agreement on the
1959 Antarctic Treaty which neither legitimised nor challenged the
existing sovereign claims to the continent. The unique Antarctic
Treaty System has provided the foundation for peaceful, harmonious
and effective governance. There are, however, new anxieties about
the frozen continent and the Southern Ocean. Antarctica already
feels the effects of climate change and ocean acidification.
Claimant states assert rights to the Antarctic continental shelf
and interest in Antarctic resources grows. Tourism brings new
environmental and safety risks. China and other powers are
increasing their activities, with some questioning the consensus of
the 'Antarctic club'. Security concerns are increasingly discussed,
despite Antarctica's dedication to peaceful purposes. This book
brings together the main primary international materials concerning
the regulation and governance of Antarctica, including multilateral
and bilateral treaties, United Nations materials, 'soft laws' and
judicial decisions. It covers the spectrum of Antarctic issues from
environmental protection to scientific cooperation to tourism. As
it shows, Antarctic law has constantly adapted to meet new
challenges and is a sophisticated, inclusive, dynamic and
responsive regime.
