"Oceans Policy: New Institutions, Challenges and Opportunities
draws attention to three new international institutions created by
the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea. The International Seabed
Authority located in Jamaica governs global activities to convert
polymetallic resources into reserves of metal. The Legal Counsel
for the Authority provides the first public review of the
Authority's draft Mining Code containing the rules, regulations,
and procedures for deep seabed mining. The second institution dealt
with is the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea.
Professor Louis Sohn outlines several innovative uses of advisory
opinions available to the Tribunal while the President of the
Tribunal reports on a busy first year of work by this new
institution located in Hamburg. Other items discussed are the
jurisdiction of the Tribunal and its working methods, including its
rules, proceedings and internal procedures.
The third international institution established to implement the
1980 Convention is the Commission on the Limits of the Continental
Shelf beyond 200 nautical miles. An explanation is given of the
geographical context for the development of the legal concept of
the Continental Shelf. The principal problems that the Commission
must resolve are summarized, in particular with respect to the
definition in the Convention of the outer limit of the Continental
Shelf.
The fourth part of this work is focused on the global challenges
posed by drug trafficking in the Caribbean region. The
international legal framework governing intercepting illegal drug
shipments at sea is analyzed. Recent counter-drug initiatives
undertaken at the International Maritime Organizationare then
reviewed. The book also contains discussion of the growing threat
to ocean freedom posed by piracy and armed robbery at sea, as well
as the increasing problems in reconciling the rules for salvage of
shipwrecks and underwater archeology.
The publication is based on a conference held in Jamaica that was
organized by the Center for Oceans Law and Policy, University of
Virginia School of Law.
