Scholars interested in the history and significance of the idea of
declaring the seabed (beyond national jurisdiction) an
international Common Heritage, will find this book an essential
reference source. This proposal was made by Malta's Ambassador to
the United Nations, Dr Arvid Pardo, in a seminal speech to the UN
General Assembly in 1967. Principally aimed at the promotion of
world peace, his proposal launched the UN on a long and massive
negotiating conference that culminated in the adoption of the
landmark 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea.On that long, hard
trail Arvid Pardo was vigorously accompanied by Mme Elisabeth Mann
Borgese and further helped and encouraged by innumerable scholars,
lawyers, scientists, engineers and statesmen. The eminent
theologian Father Peter Serracino Inglott, to whom this book is
dedicated, made significant contributions to the ethical fundaments
of the Common Heritage. The efforts of all were arduous and
triumphant.
