EEZ Me Into It, It's Monday

Amy Burchfield, Access & Faculty Services Librarian amy.burchfield@law.csuohio.edu | November 17, 2008 - 09:26

What’s the EEZ? It’s a concept in international law that developed out of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. The EEZ or exclusive economic zone gives coastal nations the rights to exclusive jurisdiction and control over 200 miles of waters adjacent to their coastline. Coastal nations have the right to use the natural resources in the sea-bed, sub-soil and waters within their EEZ. Other nations have the right of freedom of navigation, overflight, and the laying of submarine cables within the EEZ of other nations.

A great source for finding a quick overview of this and other international law concepts is Parry and Grant Encyclopaedic Dictionary of International Law, available in the reference collection at KZ1161 .P37 2004.
