Abstract

The legal regime of the high seas has traditionally been characterised by the dominance of the principles of free use and the exclusivity of flag State jurisdiction. It means that the high seas are open to all States, and no State may validly purport to subject any part of them to its sovereignty. but it has not always been so. accordingly, here we discuss the general regime of the high seas in this papaer.
