Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Current Status of the Convention on the Law of the Sea: Hearing Before the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, August 11, 1994 The committee met at 10 a.m., in room S-118, the Capitol, Hon. Claiborne Pell (chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators Pell, Murkowski, and Gregg. The Chairman. The committee will come to order. I apologize for the smaller room than usual, but we have some activity on the floor at the same time and this seemed most practical. I am very happy to welcome our witnesses to today´s hearing on the status of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea. As I am sure everybody in this room is aware, the United States recently signed the agreement relating to the implementation of part XI. As an individual who has had a long personal interest in and involvement with the convention, I was particularly pleased to participate in the signing ceremony just last week and to see the United States finally moving toward ratification of the convention. The convention itself will enter into force, no matter what we do, on November 16 of this year. As both a maritime and a coastal nation, our country has vital interests in the balance of interests struck in the convention. For example, the convention´s provisions on freedom of navigation are particularly important for our national security. The Persian Gulf war, conflicts in Bosnia and other regions of the world, together with excessive claims to jurisdiction by coastal states, underscore the United States´ security interest in unimpeded military and commercial sea and air traffic. The United States has many other interests in the convention and I hope we will discuss some of these in this morning´s hearing. I am aware that not everybody is convinced of the merits of the convention and the agreement and the committee will hear first from one of those skeptics, Congressman Jack Fields. Congressman, a warm welcome. The floor is yours. Statement of Hon. Jack Fields, U.S. Representative from Texas Representative Fields. Thank you very much, Senator. I will be as brief as possible. If I could, I have a prepared statement I would like to submit for the record along with some other materials. The Chairman. Certainly. They will put in the record as is.
