- Title
The End of Freedom of the Seas?: Grotius, Law of the Sea, and Island Building.
- Authors
KROON, DANIELLE
- Abstract
The article discusses the Grotian concept of sea freedom with no country being able to own it, and its application to the modern activity of island building in 2020. Topics covered include the historical context, ideas, and acceptance of the 1608 Hugo Grotius work "Mare Liberum" meaning freedom of the seas, the modern law of the sea, and the issue of island building therein. Also noted is the view that island building does not change the law and requires no maintenance of freedom of the seas.
