حادثة "توري كانيون" و القواعد الجديدة للقانون الدولي للبحار

Abstract EN

The Torrey canyon incident on the coast of the united kingdom in 1967, after the legal issues it raised regarding the intervention of the coastal state in maritime areas not under the national sovereignty of any state, and despite the legal vacuum that existed in the rules of traditional international law of the sea, contributed to the progressive development of the rules of the new international law of the sea and the introduction of new amendments, with a view to addressing and combating the dangers of tanker accidents, as an exception to the principle of freedom of navigation in the high seas.
