Virginia Commentary
Virginia Commentary is an informal title of a document, the ''United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982: A Commentary'', providing an account of the negotiations and analysis of the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea convention articles. This seven-volume work was published between 1985 and 2011 with the goal of better understanding of the lawmaking process at the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III). The informal title is due to the University of Virginia School of Law, where, at the Center for Oceans Law and Policy, the commentary was put together. Virginia Commentary primarily concentrates on the history of the negotiations that led to the convention and is less of a commentary on the convention itself. It was published to a large extent before the convention went into force in 1994, the commentary thus does not contain a survey of case law or state practices; these can be found in a different book with a similar title, ' ...

Law Of The Sea
Law of the sea (or ocean law) is a body of international law governing the rights and duties of State (polity), states in Ocean, maritime environments. It concerns matters such as navigational rights, sea mineral claims, and coastal waters jurisdiction. The connotation of ''ocean law'' is somewhat broader, but the law of the sea (anchored in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)) is so comprehensive that it covers all areas of ocean law as well (e.g., marine environmental law, maritime law). While drawn from a number of international customs, treaties, and agreements, modern law of the sea derives largely from the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. That convention is effective since 1994, and is generally accepted as a codification of customary international law of the sea, and is sometimes regarded as the "constitution of the oceans". Law of the sea is the public law counterpart to admiralty law (also known as maritime law), which applies to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Travaux Préparatoires
The travaux préparatoires ( French: "preparatory works", in the plural) are the official record of a negotiation. Sometimes published, the "travaux" are often useful in clarifying the intentions of a treaty or other instrument, as is reflected in Article 32 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT). To interpret treaties, the VCLT places this form of interpretation as secondary to the ordinary meaning (see Articles 31 and 32). In the Sigurjonsson v. Iceland case, the European Court of Human Rights noted that the use of the travaux préparatoires in the earlier Young James and Wester case was not decisive but merely provided a working hypothesis. The preparatory work was legitimately invoked by the European Commission to show that the provision that "Every shall be free to leave any country, including his own", does not entitle a convicted prisoner to leave the country in which he is lawfully detained. An example of such interpretation was provided by Lord Diplock i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
