Synopsis

Explore how nations define the borders and rights of the sea, from bays and harbors to open roadsteads, in a foundational collection of official documents and expert views.

This edition gathers authoritative documents and contemporary commentary on the marginal sea. It traces historical and modern debates about where territorial waters begin, how bays and roadsteads are treated, and how different states claim sovereignty or jurisdiction over coastal waters. The included material helps readers understand the legal mechanisms behind maritime boundaries and their practical implications for navigation, trade, and international relations.

• Prominent discussions on the littoral sea, ports, coves, and harbors as parts of national territory
• Excerpts and analyses from representative publicists and official papers
• Insight into how different countries have interpreted and adjusted their sea borders over time
• A historical and legal context for contemporary maritime law and its enforcement

Ideal for readers of international law, history of diplomacy, and maritime policy who want a clear, practical view of how sea limits are defined and negotiated.
