The extent of transit passage: Some practical anomalies

J. B. R. L. Langdon

Marine Policy, 1990, vol. 14, issue 2, 130-136

Abstract: This article explores some of the practical effects of the creation (or codification) of a transit passage regime in straits used for international navigation and draws attention to the curious anomaly that the extent of the regime must vary according to the characteristics of the vessel taking advantage of it. Finally, it is suggested that, due to the topography of the seabed, it is arguable that customary rights of transit passage may exist in areas which do not fit the traditional concept of international straits.
