Foreword: Law of the Sea Negotiations 1971-1972

This issue contains timely and relevant articles on each of these important subjects - three articles relating to the seabed question, two on fisheries management problems, and one on pollution. In addition to the student contributions in the synopsis of recent developments in the law of the seas, student comments are also directed to three significant aspects of law of the sea issues, viz., the interests of land-locked states, the question of baselines for outlying archipelagos, and marine archaeology.
