Should this article be the redirect for "Law of the Sea". I argue no. The UN law of the sea treaty (as negotiatied by Tommy Koh et al) is a separate but related article, IMHO. Other opinions? User:magicmike

- Concur. I took a one-semester course in admiralty law and the Law of the Sea Treaty was never mentioned. The L.O.S.T. falls more in the catergory of international law. Ellsworth

- the whole section on the history of admiralty law in England looks completely wrong as well. Francis Davey 29 June 2005 20:43 (UTC)
The United Nations LAW OF THE SEA is fully discussed at links below http://www.un.org/Depts/los/convention_agreements/convention_overview_convention.htm .

Admiralty Law, as I understand it, is not properly considered a subset of international law. It's just another area of domestic law that every nation has, along with criminal law, tort law, property law, contract law, etc. The Law of the Sea, on the other hand, is international law. So I agree that Law of the Sea should not redirect here, and furthermore, I don't think this article should be part of the international law wikiproject. CoramVobis 20:07, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hague-Visby Rules
Can this article be really complete without more on the Hague-Visby Rules? Should there be a separate article on the Hague-Visby Rules? Legis 11:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
i'm not sure.
[edit] I screwed up this page-can you help
I added material to this page which resulted, I assume, in the page getting too long and chopping off the end of the article.
I wasn't able to fix it myself. Can someone help?
By the way, the previous commentator is correct. The Hague-Visby Rules are important and need to be referenced in this article, and a separate article written about them. Rod Sullivan 11:58, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
- Looks like TigerShark has fixed it. --Matthew K 23:25, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] minor change
Under Personal injuries to passengers, I changed the first sentence to "Shipowners owe a duty of reasonable care to passengers (for a broad overview of this theory in law, see negligence)." I feel that the link to Breach of duty in English law is useful; I am not as certain about how I linked negligence here. Anyone have a preference for a different method of pointing to negligence? --Matthew K 23:30, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
