"This paper considers the military activities exception in the settlement of 

 disputes part of the Law-of-the-Sea Conference's Informal Single Negotiating 

 Text. It notes that although the exception, on its face, seems to favor naval 

 powers, in practice it would not. The emerging rules of the law of the sea 

 are favorable to naval operations and it is more likely that the military 

 activities exception would be used by coastal states resisting superpower 

 naval activities."

The proceedings contain the talk given by Alfred A. H. Keil along with 

 comments and discussion by J. H. HoUomon, G. F. Mechlin, and M. Pitkin. 

 Dean A. Horn served as moderator. Keil's main thoughts were that the key 

 to systematic and coherent development of United States ocean activities is 

 an integrated ocean policy, which can provide the framework for individual 

 marine actions. Such a policy must envision domestic ocean utilization in 

 the context both of international ocean developments, and the attitude of 

 many countries that ocean resources are "the common heritage of mankind." 

 Such a policy must assess the United States' position toward the oceans 

 within the broader framework of our country's aspirations in a changing 

 world.

The purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss issues relating to the 

 possible use of reservations to a treaty or treaties resulting from the Third 

 United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea. Two different aspects of 

 the issues are examined: The desirability from any particular nation's point 

 of view of its being able to make reservations to a law of the sea treaty or 

 treaties; and the desirability from any particular nation's point of view of 

 other nations being able to make such reservations. United States procedural 

 and policy objectives in the law of the sea negotiations have l:)een used in 

 order to frame the issues and provide a basis for concrete analysis. Part B 

 of this paper identifies those aspects of United States ocean policy which are 

 directly related to the issue of reservations to international agreements. 

 Part C contains a discussion of the use of reservations and the effects which 

 their use might have and Part D discusses some specific non-agreement 

 situations which might emerge from the Third Conference and suggests how 

 reservations might be applied in those situations.
