Abstract

The effectiveness of nuclear-weapon-free zones cannot be understood without considering the law of the sea. Some nuclear-weapon-free zones include international waters in their areas of application, which provoked some nuclear-weapon States that are parties to protocols to such treaties to issue reservations on the geographical scope of such zones. This article argues that the nuclear-weapon-free zones that include exclusive economic zones and high seas in their areas of application were established in accordance with the law of the sea and, therefore, there is no reason why the nuclear-weapon States should not review their reservations in this respect.
