Description

A generation of legal pioneers imagined a decisive role for the law of the sea in the advancement of developing states. The jewel in the crown of that vision was the juridical recognition of significant wealth of the oceans as the common heritage of mankind. The Law of the Sea in the Caribbean gives an accounting of the reach of the law of the sea into Caribbean development. It argues for greater regional cooperation as a means of achieving the promise of the contribution of the sea towards the economic and social progression of Caribbean States.
