Law of the Oceans and the Antarctic LAW606
This unit is being phased out, no new enrolments are being taken.
Introduction
This unit will focus on the development of the international Law of the Sea as a global commons. The concepts of res communes, res nullius and sovereignty will be extended to include the Antarctic continent and its surrounding waters. The unit has a particular emphasis on the legal and policy regimes for the protection of marine capture fisheries. This is a subject of increasing global importance not only for the crucial contribution that fish make to the world’s well-being and prosperity, but also because fish are a vital source of food security offering nutrition and protein for much of our increasing global population.
