Ramsar Convention. The Ramsar Convention (formally, the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, especially as Waterfowl Habitat) is an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands,[1] recognizing the fundamental ecological functions of wetlands and their economic, cultural, scientific, and recreational value. It is named after the city of Ramsar in Iran, where the Convention was signed in 1971. Convention[edit] The convention was developed and adopted by participating nations at a meeting in Ramsar, Mazandaran, Iran, on February 2, 1971, hosted by the Iranian Department of Environment, and came into force on December 21, 1975.

Presently there are 168 contracting parties, up from 21 initial signatory nations in 1971. The state parties meet every three years as the Conference of the Contracting Parties (COP), the first held in Cagliari, Italy in 1980. There is a standing committee, a scientific review panel, and a secretariat. List of contracting parties[edit]

France. Haute mer. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Les zones maritimes du droit international de la mer. On désigne par eaux internationales ou par haute mer, ce dernier terme étant le seul employé en droit de la mer, les zones maritimes qui ne sont sous l'autorité d'aucun État (par opposition aux « eaux sous juridiction d'un État côtier »). Les eaux internationales qui sont hors de la zone économique apparaissent en bleu foncé. La haute mer est généralement considérée comme un « bien public mondial » couvrant environ la moitié de la surface planétaire et 64 % des océans.

Toute revendication de souveraineté par un État y est illégitime. En 1982 à Montego Bay (Jamaïque) un cadre a défini des règles et une autorité pour l’exploitation des sol et sous-sols marin, mais pas encore pour la colonne d'eau et la pêche. Un Appel de Paris pour la haute mer a été lancé afin qu'elle soit considérée comme « bien commun de l’humanité » et gérée comme tel, dans l’intérêt général.

Can Seasteads Ever Truly Escape the American Court System? A brief introduction is in order. I am Robert Mongole and I will be working as Legal Intern at The Seasteading Institute this summer.

I am a Juris Doctor and Doctor of Civil Law candidate at the Louisiana State University Paul M. Hebert Law Center. I received my bachelor’s degree in English and Creative Writing from the Florida State University. I spend my free time hiking, reading poetry, and other equally unproductive tasks. This blog post serves as an introduction to concepts that will be discussed succinctly via blogging and given a more thorough analysis in a legal research paper. Article III Section 2 of the United States Constitution grants broad powers for federal courts to hear maritime claims. Bringing suit in the United States offers the plaintiff many advantages. A seastead is likely to employ and have as visitors both American and non-American citizens. ITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF THE SEA. Article34 Legal status of waters forming straits used for international navigation 1. The regime of passage through straits used for international navigation established in this Part shall not in other respects affect the legal status of the waters forming such straits or the exercise by the States bordering the straits of their sovereignty or jurisdiction over such waters and their air space, bed and subsoil. 2.

Article35 Scope of this Part Nothing in this Part affects: Article36 High seas routes or routes through exclusive economic zones through straits used for international navigation This Part does not apply to a strait used for international navigation if there exists through the strait a route through the high seas or through an exclusive economic zone of similar convenience with respect to navigational and hydrographical characteristics; in such routes, the other relevant Parts of this Convention, including the provisions regarding the freedoms of navigation and overflight, apply. 1. 2.

Despite US non-ratification, the UNCLOS remains relevant to seasteaders. This post is authored by volunteer Michael Poon, a fourth year pre-law student at the University of California, Berkeley with an especial interest in moral philosophy and social organization. Last month, two Senate Republicans joined 32 other senators in opposing the UN Convention on the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS), officially blocking a two-thirds supermajority from ratifying the international agreement.

Opponents of the Convention, also known as the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), say it would hand too much authority over to other nations and hinder the United States’ ability to exercise sovereignty in its oceanic territory. But even with the US turning its back on the UNCLOS for the foreseeable future, it remains highly relevant to seasteaders.

The Convention is incredibly comprehensive. It deals with issues ranging from resource exploitation to environmental protection to determination of which entity has criminal jurisdiction over various kinds of cases.
