Abstract

This paper analyzes the evolution of international law on common spaces –specifically the Law of the Sea, Antarctica and the environment–, a process that has resulted in a new form of control over these. We maintain that the success of this process lies in the role that consensus must play, which does not imply an attempt to form a system of world control or to internationalize these areas. Therefore, harmonious cooperation between national and international interests must prevail, as shown in the evolution of the law of spaces described here.
