Jurisdiction in Marginal Seas
"Jurisdiction in Marginal Seas" is a comprehensive study of the legal principles and historical precedents governing national authority over coastal waters. Written during a period of intense international debate regarding maritime boundaries, the work examines the complex relationship between sovereign rights and the freedom of the high seas. It pays particular attention to the enforcement of customs laws and the prevention of smuggling, a topic of significant concern in the early 20th century.
The work explores the evolution of the "three-mile limit" and the various legal theories proposed to justify extended jurisdiction for protective purposes. This scholarly analysis provides essential insights into the development of international maritime law and the diplomatic tensions that arise when nations seek to control their maritime borders. The text remains a vital reference for understanding the legal foundations of territorial sea claims and the exercise of police powers beyond a state's immediate coastline. Its focus on special protective jurisdictions and the historical context of maritime enforcement makes it an invaluable resource for scholars of legal history, international relations, and maritime affairs.
