Abstract

Supporting Dutch trading and fishing interests in the 17th Century, Mare Liberurm’, wrote Grotius. Little did he realize that his doctrine of the ‘freedom of the seas’ would eventually become the norm in international law for over three and a half centuries. The principle of freedom of the seas, however, began to be dismantled with the Second World War. This process was almost complete when the Third United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) allowed for the creation of an exclusive economic zone of up to 200 nautical miles, under the jurisdiction of the coastal state.
