| ABSTRACT |
This paper discusses two of the problems associated with the
changes taking place in the international law of the sea. The first of
these deals with the transit of fishing vessels through zones of
national jurisdiction beyond the territorial sea. Transitting fishing
vessels have an interest in expeditious transit and the coastal States
have an interest in ensuring that the vessel is not fishing within its
zone during transit passage. This conflict in interest is examined and
various alternatives for resolving the conflict are appraised in terms
of the international law of the sea. The second problem is that of the
regulation of fishing for highly migratory species in high seas
enclaves beyond national jurisdiction. The interests of fishing and
coastal States are examined in the light of developments in
customary and conventional international law. Although the
problems discussed are of primary interest to the South Pacific
States, they are also relevant to other regions of the world. |
