Headline The United Nations and the Law of the Sea

Caption Description Although there already exists a body of international law pertaining to the high seas, territorial waters of nations, the continental shelf and so on, the definition of the precise limits of the sea-bed and ocean floor which lie beyond national jurisdiction remains a most controversial question. Over the years, various nations, particularly those with large fishing industries, have been claiming from the traditional three to twelve miles up to two-hundred miles, as measured from the coast. In 1970 the General Assembly declared that the area of the sea-bed and ocean floor beyond these limits should be an international domain for peaceful uses on behalf of all peoples. A Committee on the Sea-bed is currently engaged in the formidable task of examining all the complicated legal issues that will arise in putting this declaration into effect.
Norway’s is one of the largest fishing fleets operating in the North Sea and would thus be directly affected by any new convention regarding the limits of national jurisdiction over sea-bed and ocean floor. Here is seen a Norwegian trawler plying off the Norwegian coast. [Exact date unknown]
