  • GA Antarctic Territorial Claims
    Forum: The General Assembly Fourth Committee Issue: The Question of Antarctic Territorial Claims Student Officer: Shwe Pan Gyee Introduction Antarctica is the largest and the only uninhabited continent and in the world and is also deemed as a desert. Since the discovery of the continent, countries have been claiming parts of the continent by leading and financing expeditions to have their territorial claims. With the claim over the Antarctic territories, the nation-states that have made their claim have used the land for the expansion of their empire, military training, the testing of chemical weapons and scientific research on wildlife, astronomy, weather, and geology. Due to the benefits that come along with having the claim over the Antarctic territories, there is an increase in the expeditions that were sent out by countries to have their territorial claims in Antarctica. This later led to disputes between nation-states regarding the fight for the Antarctic lands. In the effort of eradicating the issue of disputes between the countries over the Antarctic territories, a treaty by the name of the Antarctic Treaty was established. This treaty is the result of 12 nation-states coming into the consensus of having Antarctica to be used only for peaceful practice and scientific research. It also does not acknowledge the past territorial claims and forbids new claims and the expansion of the pre-existing claims to have a form of the jurisdiction in Antarctica. The treaty also banned military training and the testing of weapons in the effort of having preservation of the Antarctic continent. To ensure that the natural reserves are being protected, The Antarctic Treaty's Environmental Protocol was put into place.

  • Continental Shelf-Ex
    ARGENTINA’S MOST EXTENSIVE LIMIT OUR FRONTIER WITH MANKIND - Success of a State policy implemented throughout almost 20 years Outer Limit of the Continental Shelf After 20 years of intense scientific, technical and legal work of an inter-disciplinary and inter-ministerial team led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship through the National Commission on the Outer Limit of the Continental Shelf (COPLA), Argentina achieved an important foreign policy success: on March 11th, 2016, the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) adopted by consensus (with no negative votes) the Recommendations on the Argentine Submission of the outer limit of its continental shelf. The Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) is a scientific body in charge of examining the information and data submitted by coastal States, which was created by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), based in United Nations Headquarters in New York and is made up of 21 international renowned experts. Analysis of the Submission The outer limit of the Argentine continental shelf was submitted to the CLCS on April 21, 2009, and is the result of the work carried out by COPLA since 1997. This submission consists of a Main Body, divided into six chapters, which are developed in 13 volumes and contains the scientific grounds for the demarcation of the outer limit of the Argentine continental shelf. Other 13 volumes and a digital database compile the supporting scientific and technical data. Finally, the most relevant bibliography is annexed in other 24 volumes. The Argentine continental shelf between the 200 nautical miles (M) line and the outer limit has a surface of approximately 1,782,500 km2 that is equivalent to 48% of the emerged territory of Argentina.

  • Fear and Loathing in the South Pole: the Need to Resolve the Antarctic Sovereignty Issue and a Framework for Doing It
    FEAR AND LOATHING IN THE SOUTH POLE: THE NEED TO RESOLVE THE ANTARCTIC SOVEREIGNTY ISSUE AND A FRAMEWORK FOR DOING IT “Great God! This is an awful place.” - Captain Robert Scott, 19121 I. INTRODUCTION Antarctica is a continent on the brink. The constant political instability of oil- rich nations, coupled with an increasing global petroleum demand, is fueling the likelihood that the world will turn its thirsty eyes towards this great unexplored frontier in search of natural energy resources. Mineral exploration in Antarctica, however, has been effectively barred since 1959 under the Antarctic Treaty System (“ATS”),2 which, in its current form, prohibits mineral exploration as far into the future as 2048.3 The strategic potential presented by this vastly unpopulated continent has not gone unrecognized by the major global political players. To add further strain to this inherently tense environment, seven nation states have publicly expressed sovereignty claims to some part of the continent, with the United States and Russia reserving a right to assert such a claim in the future.4 The existing ATS amounts to an agreement to disagree on the issue of sovereignty between claimant states. History has shown that long-unsettled sovereignty disputes can boil over into full-scale military confrontations. Two examples illustrate the fallacy of simply “waiting out” competing claims. First, the Spratly Islands, a group of more than a hundred islands in the South China Sea5 that are believed to possess significant oil reserves, have been witness to armed conflicts between claimant states on at least four different occasions.6 Second, the longstanding Falkland Islands territorial dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom boiled over into war in 1982, resulting in numerous casualties on both 1.PETER J.
