Seven major questions are studied: The applicability of the right of innocent passage to the Northwest and Northeast Passages; the status of the waters of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago; the possibility of claiming a historic title to some of the Arctic waters; the applicability of the principle of 'the freedom of the seas' to the Arctic Ocean; the status of ice shelves and ice islands; the international validity of the Canadian Arctic pollution prevention legislation and the state boundaries of the Arctic continental shelf and sea-bed.
