Abstract

Footnotes 1 . GAOR (XXV) (1970), 3 December, 1732nd meeting, 13–16. Australia voted in favour, although it did not co‐sponsor Resolution 2750C (XXV) where the General Assembly decided to convene in 1973 a conference on the law of the sea. Indeed Australia submitted amendments with five other states to a draft resolution by Guyana, Indonesia, Jamaica and Kenya where one of the main points was to eliminate the phrase 'if possible' from the convening of a third law of the sea conference in 1973. See UN Doc. A/C1/I.554. (Note: All documents referred to are UN documents.) 2 . Australia possesses only small‐scale shipping lines that mainly operate along the Australian coast. Less than 3 per cent of the total tonnage discharged and loaded at Australian ports in 1978–79 was carried in Australian registered vessels.
