Further Development

This contribution gives an idea of the necessity of cooperation in the field of the law of the sea, ocean management and marine policy towards East Africa. It is demonstrated through a substantial analysis of the development of the law of the sea that such a cooperation on an academic level can be a valuable means for further development in these fields for Third World States. A general description of a present cooperation project with Kenya is given as an example of this kind of approach.

The volumes still to be published include: Vol. II – Second Committee: Articles 1 to 132, Annexes I and II, and the Final Act, Annex II; Vol. Ill – First Committee: Articles 133 to 191, Annexes HI and IV, and the Final Act, Annex I, Resolution II; Vol. IV – Third Committee: Articles 192 to 278, and the Final Act, Annex VI; and Vol. VI – Comprehensive Index to Series, consolidated list of treaties, cases and appendices, additional reference material.2.For a general appraisal, see NandanS.N., ‘A Constitution for the Ocean: The 1982 UN Law of the Sea Convention’, 1 Marine Policy Reports (1989) pp. 1–12; Council on Ocean Law (COL), The United States and the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea: A Synopsis of the Status of the Treaty and its Expanded Role in the World Today (1989). Note that the legislative history of the Convention is also the subject of some publications of the United Nations Office for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (OALOS), in particular, Pollution by Dumping (1985, E. 85.V.12); Rights of Access of Land-Locked States to and from the Sea and Freedom of Transit (1987, E.87.V.5); Regime of Islands (1988, E.87.V.11); and Navigation on the High Seas (1989, E.89.V.2). See also QALOS' Master File Containing References to Official Documents of the UNCLOS III (1985, E.85.V.9).3.See RosenneShabtai, Practice and Methods of International Law (1984) pp. 41–42, also pp. 14–15.4.Note that the important evidence of State positions can also be found in statements at the 1982 closing session of UNCLOS III in Montego Bay. E.g., the coastal State's sovereign rights over archeological objects found on the continental shelf were for the first time suggested by Cape Verde (Volume V, p. 159), and after their rejection by UNCLOS III, Cape Verde reiterated its position at the Montego Bay session and subsequently declared upon ratification of the Convention that the removal of such objects from its maritime areas is subject to its consent (UN Law of the Sea Bulletin (1987) No. 10, p. 8). In some cases, e.g., the designated areas concept introduced by India, State practice (potentially) not conforming with the Convention is only reflected by the Montego Bay statements.5.See the Special Reports on PrepCom by the Council on Ocean Law (COL), Washington DC, especially the recent ones of the Seventh Session, First Meeting, 27 February - 23 March 1989, and the Second Meeting, 14 August - 1 September 1989. For an annual review of PrepCom work, see the Law of the Sea Reports of the United Nations Secretary-General, the recent one being UN Doc A/44/650 (1989) pp. 34–41.6.See, e.g., the Brazilian declarations upon signature and ratification of the Convention, in UN Law of the Sea Bulletin (1985) No. 5, p. 6, and (1988) No. 12, p. 8.
