Abstract
The effectiveness of nuclear-weapon-free zones cannot be understood without considering the law of the sea. Some nuclear-weapon-free zones include international waters in their areas of application, which provoked some nuclear-weapon States that are parties to protocols to such treaties to issue reservations on the geographical scope of such zones. This article argues that the nuclear-weapon-free zones that include exclusive economic zones and high seas in their areas of application were established in accordance with the law of the sea and, therefore, there is no reason why the nuclear-weapon States should not review their reservations in this respect.
期刊介绍:
El Anuario Mexicano de Derecho Internacional (AMDI) surgió en el año 2000, como una publicación del Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas de la UNAM. El objetivo del AMDI es buscar la participación activa de juristas dedicados al estudio del Derecho Internacional para que colaboren tanto en lo relativo a la labor editorial como en la publicación de trabajos académicos. Esta apertura la constituye el hecho de que el Comité Editorial está compuesto por personajes de las más diversas instituciones y nacionalidades. Resulta importante mencionar que el AMDI busca mantener la calidad que siempre le ha caracterizado y para ello cuenta con una política de dobles dictámenes anónimos de alto rigor académico, realizados por la cartera de árbitros que constituyen el Consejo Editorial, el Consejo Dictaminador de Colaboraciones y en ocasiones algunos expertos externos. El AMDI suscribe el Código de Ética del IIJ-UNAM. El AMDI es una publicación de acceso abierto. Los idiomas para publicar contribuciones son en: español, inglés, portugués, francés e italiano. Las secciones del AMDI son: doctrina (artículos académicos), comentarios, reseñas, práctica internacional mexicana, jurisprudencia, coyuntura internacional y polémica. El AMDI cuenta con una software antiplagio para el proceso de revisión de las contribuciones recibidas.
