商品簡介
Although he didn't think it would become necessary, Grotius, the father of international law, believed that restriction of fishing would be required if the resource were found to be exhaustible. With that necessity now clear, Rayfuse (international law, U. of New South Wales, Australia) examines the legal aspects of "the ultimate constraint" to controlling over-exploitation of high seas fisheries: adherence to the principle of exclusive flag state jurisdiction on the high seas. Examining the current status of international law of non- flag state enforcement of conservation and management measures of regional fisheries organizations, she focuses on the interrelationship between the international legal principles of the freedom of the high seas, the exclusivity of flag state jurisdiction over vessels on the high seas, and the rule that a treaty cannot bind a third party without consent.
