Extract

The second UN Conference on the Law of the Sea, convened in accordance with a resolution1 of the General Assembly, was opened in Geneva on March 16, 1960, under the presidency of Prince Wan Waitha yakon (Thailand), and closed on April 27. Representatives of 88 countries attended. Two questions only were before the Conference: 1) the breadth of the territorial sea; and 2) the breadth of fishery limits. These had been left unsolved by the first Conference, held early in 1958.
