Beschreibung
New developments in the uses of the sea have given rise to new questions
in the law of the sea since the beginning of the second millennium, and
there are international endeavors to revise certain issues of maritime
law. The Seminar, papers of which are collected in this volume, dealt with
some examples of these developments. Participants were doctoral candidates
of the International Max Planck Research School for Maritime Affairs and
students of the University of Hamburg. Addressed are the
internationalization of marine natural resources, the audit system of flag
State’s obligations, rights of land-locked and geographically
disadvantaged States in the EEZ, the reform of the European fisheries
policy and finally the Rotterdam Rules which are deemed to alter the
carrier’s obligations in the law of maritime transport. A report of the
Seminar’s excursion to several maritime institutions in New York City
is also included.
