The Role of the International Seabed Authority in the 1980\u27s

This Article examines the proposed development of an International Seabed Authority to enforce and monitor the requirements of the Treaty on the Prohibition of the Emplacement of Nuclear Weapons and Other Weapons of Mass Destruction on the Seabed and in the Subsoil Thereof. The author argues that many of the provisions for the Authority\u27s activities are rendered inoperable by developments beyond the control of the Law of the Sea Conference. The author suggests that there have been significant developments at both the conceptual level and the technical level that hinder the ability of the International Seabed Authority to monitor compliance with the prescriptions of the treaty and proposes various methods to adjust the activities of the Authority, within the terms of the Draft Convention of the Law of the Sea

The principles developed by the Sixth and Seventh Special Sessions of the General Assembly and the Charter of Economic Rights and Duties of States must be applied to States and to the international community in their activities both in the seas and on land, or no NIEO can come into existence
