Freedom of the seas, английский
A principle of international law which allows neutral vessels to sail anywhere on the high seas beyond territorial waters without interference from belligerent powers. until the sixteenth century, the seas or parts of them were considered to be owned by any country powerful enough to exercise sovereignty, but in the seventeenth the development of seaborne trade led to the concept of open seas. since then the basic principles of maritime law have been designed to satisfy and reconcile the requirements of national security with freedom of trade and navigation. accordingly, only a narrow strip of coastal water is considered under the exclusive sovereignty of the coastal state, while the high seas beyond are freely accessible to all. see also exclusive economic zone, exclusive fishing zone, right of fishery.
