International Control of Deep Sea Mineral Resources

Authors

Wayne J. Smith

Abstract

The United States is committed as a matter of national policy to enter into negotiations with all countries in the United Nations in a serious attempt to bring the law of the sea in line with...the needs of modern technology and the concerns of the international community."¹ These needs and concerns are numerous and often conflicting, and their resolution is complicated by the fact that even the preliminary negotiations are being con­ducted in the political forum of the United Nations rather than on a quieter technical level as in the case of the 1958 conventions. ²
