La Protection Internationale Du Patrimoine Culturel De La Mer: Les Compétences de L'état Sur Les Biens Culturels Submergés (French Edition) (Études De Droit International: Volume 9) by Marine They - 2018

BRILL, 2018. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Since the 1980s, States have been increasingly concerned with ensuring appropriate protection of underwater cultural heritage from damage by anthropogenic activities, which are reaching ever deeper ocean waters, says They. She describes how certain sites in the high seas have raised jurisdictional claims, sometimes grounded on an extension of connecting factors (spatial and extra-spatial) already recognized in general international law and the law of the sea, while other cases are based on hitherto purely factual links. But she finds conventional and customary rules to remain insufficient either for a real delimitation of state's competences or for regulating the exercise of jurisdiction once authorized in a certain sphere. The text is in French. (2018 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
