THE REGISTRATION OF SHIPS BY INTERNATIONAL AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS

Most of the arguments against the registration of ships by international organizations have been based upon the organization's inability to insure the rational use of the oceans. There are grave difficulties, both practical and legal; however, they are amenable to solution. Although international organizations are not a panacea for all of the world's problems, they are extremely useful in certain spheres of activities. To permit them to register ships would further increase their usefulness. To deny them access to the oceans, the one area open to the use of everyone, would be as senseless as denying landlocked States access to the seas. The paper is an attempt to show some methods of surmounting these problems. (Author)
