The Law

In December 1970, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted two resolutions of major significance for ocean and freshwater resources. One of them, Resolution 2570 (C) (XXV), related to law of the sea, the seabed, and the ocean floor; and the other, Resolution 2669 (XXV), related to international watercourses. The resolutions set in motion two parallel, lengthy, and complex processes that resulted in the adoption, at different later stages, of two conventions, namely the Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1982 and the Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses in 1997. This article discusses and analyses the international environmental law aspects related to ocean resources as well as those related to freshwater resources. It considers marine resources and the conservation of the marine environment, marine pollution, regulation of vessel-source pollution and ocean dumping, the principle of equitable utilisation and the no harm rule, and multilateral and bilateral agreements.

AbstractIn October 2003, Croatia declared an “Ecological and Fisheries Protection Zone” in the Adriatic Sea. However, in June 2004 Croatia decided to delay the implementation of that Zone for the European Union (EU) Member States. Then, in December 2006 it decided to implement the Zone fully from 1 January 2008—only to discontinue its application to EU countries from 15 March 2008. The developments and underlying reasons for the changing jurisdictional picture in the Adriatic Sea are the subject of this article. Key Adriatic Sea features, trends in uses of its living resources and maritime space, and resource conservation and marine pollution concerns are presented. Developments leading to recent national legislation and positions on maritime jurisdiction by Croatia as well as Italy and Slovenia are discussed. These regulations, positions and developments are assessed from the perspective of the law of the sea. Relevant policy perspectives, including aspects of EU membership, are included.

AbstractThis article reviews the work of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) with regard to the adoption of international rules on safety of navigation and prevention of marine pollution. The recommendatory IMO Guidelines for Ships Operating in Arctic Ice-Covered Waters are discussed. The relationship between coastal State legislation under Article 234 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and the main IMO safety and anti-pollution treaties is analyzed. It concludes that the former should neither contradict nor overlap with the latter.
