Las obligaciones de los Estados poseedores de armas nucleares en las aguas internacionales incluidas en zonas libres de armas nucleares
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La efectividad de las zonas libres de armas nucleares no puede ser comprendida sin considerar el derecho del mar. Algunas zonas libres de armas nucleares incluyen aguas internacionales en sus áreas de aplicación, lo que provocó que algunos Estados poseedores de armas nucleares que son partes en los protocolos anexos a dichos tratados emitieran reservas sobre el ámbito geográfico de dichas zonas. Este artículo argumenta que las zonas libres de armas nucleares que incluyen zonas económicas exclusivas y alta mar en sus áreas de aplicación fueron establecidas de conformidad con el derecho del mar y, por lo tanto, no existe razón para que los Estados poseedores de armas nucleares no revisen sus reservas a este respecto.
