1. freedom of the seas

   Freedom of the seas is a principle in international law that sea lanes, outside of the internationally recognized territorial waters of a state, should remain free and open to all nations for navigation, trade and fishing. This concept stresses the freedom to traverse the world's oceans without hindrance from any particular nation, except in times of war or when international treaties limit these rights. Essentially, it means that no country possesses sovereignty over international waters.

1. Freedom of the seas

   Freedom of the seas is a principle in the international law and law of the sea. It stresses freedom to navigate the oceans. It also disapproves of war fought in water. The freedom is to be breached only in a necessary international agreement. This principle was one of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points proposed during the First World War. In his speech to the Congress, the president said: The United States' allies Britain and France were opposed to this point, as France was also a considerable naval power at the time. As with Wilson's other points, freedom of the seas was rejected by the German government. Today, the concept of "freedom of the seas" can be found in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea" under Article 87 which states: "the high seas are open to all states, whether coastal or land-locked." Article 87 to gives a non-exhaustive list of freedoms including navigation, overflight, the laying of submarine cables, building artificial islands, fishing and scientific research.

Examples of freedom of the seas in a Sentence

1. Scott Swift:

   It's my sense that some nations view freedom of the seas as up for grabs, as something that can be taken down and redefined by domestic law or by reinterpreting international law, some nations continue to impose superfluous warnings and restrictions on freedom of the seas in their exclusive economic zones and claim territorial water rights that are inconsistent with (the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea). This trend is particularly egregious in contested waters.

2. Scott Swift:

   Put simply, we will continue to exercise freedom of the seas for all nations, because we know from painful past experience, to shirk this responsibility and obligation, puts much more at risk than any one nation's maritime interests.
