Inextricably linked to this co-operation is the question of the rational management of Antarctic resources. In this book Professor Orrego Vicuna examines in depth the legal framework – the Antarctic Treaty, sovereignty, jurisdiction and the law of the sea – as it relates to the exploitation of Antarctic minerals.

REGULATION OF ANTARCTIC MINERAL RESOURCE ACTIVITIES Introductory note In the course of the discussion leading to the negotiation of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959 the question was raised as to whether the Treaty should cover the question of mineral exploration and exploitation. It was concluded that to do so would be premature.

Mineral resources of Antarctica. Although the existence of mineral deposits in Antarctica is highly probable, the chances of finding them are quite small. Minerals have been found there in great variety but only as occurrences. Manganese nodules, water …

Current understanding of Antarctic resources. Due to the Madrid Protocol ban, the publication of research on Antarctica's mineral potential was almost prevented after the 1990s. Current knowledge on Antarctica's mineral resources is limited due to the ban on mineral exploration, lack of exposed land, and difficult field logistics.

Antarctica can no longer be considered merely a highly specialized area of interest to a relative handful of explorers and scientists. World political leaders who, in an era of resource politics, are looking to potential sources of supplies of living and non-living resources. Antarctica may prove to be a source of such supplies.

No known petroleum or mineral resources occur in Antarctica. The data on these subjects have been collected, mainly since the IGY (International Geophysical Year), 1957-58, as a part of other research carried out by geologists and geophysicists from a number of countries. Specific resource-related studies have not been made. Wright and Williams …

In essence, the Antarctic Treaty System effectively demilitarized Antarctica and established it as a zone free of any commercial resource exploitation, including mineral extraction. This strong focus on peace and science represents an unprecedented approach to international cooperation, serving as a benchmark in international environmental law.

Antarctic Resources Policy - September 1983. The increment in information. Careful geological investigations started at a few places in Antarctica after World War II, but gained momentum and became systematic only when the International Geophysical Year started, and when SCAR and its Working Group on Geology were established just …

It is that while extracting mineral resources from Antarctica has now been foreclosed, the jurisdictional form that remains is part of the enabling legal infrastructure that patterns contemporary global extraction. Specifically, this jurisdictional form entails the reassertion of international legal authority grounded in colonial territorial ...
