ABSTRACTRudolf Bernhardt, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg, notes that the combined play of custom and treaty, in the Law of the Sea, requires the consideration of general and theoretical elements and requires an attempt to link these general considerations to concrete problems of the Law of the Sea. Meanwhile, the author explains that it is impossible to describe and comment on the Law of the Sea as a whole. So, Rudolf Bernhardt decides to develop his course in the following way. After an overview of developments in the Law of the Sea since the Second World War, the author focuses on the binding nature of treaties. Then, he describes the principles and characteristics of international customary law, the relations between custom and treaty law in general, and reviews the inseparability of the treaty and custom in the Law of the Sea. Finally, the author describes the relations between custom and the treaty in some important areas of the Law of the Sea.
Rudolf Bernhardt, directeur de l’Institut Max Planck pour le droit public comparé et le droit international de Heidelberg, relève que le jeu combiné, en droit de la mer, de la coutume et du traité, nécessite la prise en compte d’éléments généraux et théoriques et impose d’essayer de relier ces considérations générales aux problèmes concrets du droit de la mer. En même temps, explique l’auteur, il est impossible de décrire et de commenter l’ensemble du droit de la mer. Aussi Rudolf Bernhardt prend-il le parti de construire son cours de la manière suivante. Après un survol des développements intervenus dans le droit de la mer depuis la seconde guerre mondiale, l’auteur s’intéresse au caractère contraignant des traités. Il décrit ensuite les principes et les caractéristiques du droit coutumier international, la relation entre coutume et droit conventionnel en général, et rend compte du caractère inséparable du traité et de la coutume en droit de la mer. Enfin, l’auteur décrit la relation entre la coutume et le traité dans certains domaines importants du droit de la mer.
