Abstract

The end of the Second World War marked the decline of global colonial rule leading to a rise of newly independent states. This is significant as such states formed a large voice that impacted upon the United Nations Convention covering international maritime law. At the same time, the rise in global population and increase demand for fish led to a growth in awareness of the oceans as a bank of rich mineral and fish resources. In this respect, the Truman Proclamations of 1945 on the concepts of continental shelf and conservation of fisheries were early signposts of forthcoming changes. The Proclamations sparked off a global movement towards ‘ocean enclosure’.
