Description
This paper is intended to be a “primer”, not a treatise, to inform on the fundamentals of the maritime area subject to the sovereignty and jurisdiction of the Philippines. For immediate and convenient reference, the pertinent provisions of the Law of the Sea Convention, the Philippine Constitution, and the relevant statutes, are quoted. Information largely drawn from the participation of the author in the meetings of both the Seabed Committee and the Third Conference on the Law of the Sea, appear in footnotes.
