##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The author discusses the prevailing issues concerning the high seas. At first, the genesis of the concept “high seas” is considered by exposing the status of the high seas. According to the 1982 UNO Convention on the Maritime Law and the experience of the states, the following freedoms of the high seas are analysed: freedom of navigation, freedom of flights, freedom of laying submarine cabels and networks of pipes, freedom of building artificial islands, freedom of fishery and freedom of scientific research. It is a continuing article: exceptions to the state jurisdiction applied to ships in the high seas will be discussed in the next part.
