| Summary: | In its modern historyless than 200 years oldthe continent of Antarctica and its surroundingoceans have been discovered, explored, exploited (the marine resources) and subjected to abroad‐ranging legal regime aimed at regulating and managing uses of the region and itsresources. Some law came after the fact (e.g. the conservation of seals 53) and some preempteda rush on resources (e.g. the fishing convention54 and the minerals convention55). Butthe principal legal instrument that spawned all the others, and contained the ideological basisfor todays management approaches, was the Antarctic Treaty of 1959. |
