Review: International: International Law in Historical Perspective, V

Dr Jones presents the case of the highly industrialized, maritime nations, who have fared so well behind the freedom-of-the-seas shield, at its intransigent worst fortunately more intransigent even than recent official utterances of some of these states. However, it may be in this that the book is most useful. It sets out a concise history of the problems surrounding oceanic resources in the law of the sea, edited, as it were, from the traditional point of view. The other viewpoints, including some that are now apparently supported by a large majority of nations in the form of proposals for an extensive 'exclusive economic zone' or 'patrimonial sea,' are brushed aside or totally ignored. The new debates on the seabed issue in particular are edited to construct a careful and reasonable case for the traditionalist conservative point of view which is purported to coincide with the 'good of the community of nations.' Perhaps no recent book reflects more clearly the obstacles which will have to be overcome by those who wish to design a progressive and viable law of the sea giving something to all from the common heritage of mankind.
