Abstract
Historically, States have failed to regulate navigation for environmental purposes, since there are often strong objections to the placing of prohibitions or restrictions on navigation, on the grounds that these run counter to the freedom of naVigation enshrined in international law. The historical debate over the regulation of shipping for environmental purposes is characterised by two dichotomons points of view - those that wish to see the adoption of ever-more stringent regulations for the protection of coastal States' marine resources, and those that view coastal States' environmental regulation as a threat to traditional rights of freedom of navigation and therefore Wish to limit the regulation of navigation for environmental purposes.
