Description
Summary:An approach to the legal sector applicable to the different Arctic maritime areas is made, as well as the use of seabed and an airspace. We analyze the different positions that the different states hold regarding the consideration of the Northwest Passage. It is made an overview of Inuit of Arctic sovereignty declaration. Also a brief comparison between the situation in Antarctica and the situation in the Arctic. We conclude on the unforgivable need to adopt with the mayor of urgency a treaty that clearly defines the legal regime of the Arctic and its passages, balancing state interests with the general interests of the rest of humanity and protecting the environment. Se realiza un acercamiento al peliagudo régimen jurídico aplicable a los diferentes espacios marítimos árticos, así como el aplicable a sus fondos marinos y a su espacio aéreo. Se analizan las variadas posturas que los diferentes estados sostienen respecto a la consideración del Paso del Noroeste. Se apunta brevemente la situación en la que se encuentran las comunidades Inuit a través de la declaración Inuit de soberanía ártica, del mismo modo se realiza una breve comparación entre la situación vivida en la Antártida y la que se vive en el Ártico. Concluimos en la inexcusable necesidad de adoptar con la mayor urgencia un tratado que defina claramente el régimen jurídico del Ártico y de sus pasos, equilibrando los intereses estatales con los intereses generales del resto de la humanidad y la protección del medio ambiente.
