Journal Article
The U.S. – Canada Northwest Passage Dispute
2020
Overview
[...]this arrangement may soon prove to be untenable as shipping traffic in the region rapidly increases. \"as maritime activity rapidly increases, finding a solution will be more urgent than ever before\" Canada has long claimed the Northwest Passage as internal territorial waters, on the basis of a long history of native Inuit use of the waters, as well as legal arguments stemming from decades-old cases settled by the the International Court of Justice. [...]the inevitable rise in shipping will lead to other concerns – such as how to ensure adequate search and rescue (SAR) capabilities in the event of emergencies. According to a 2011 Arctic Council agreement, the U.S. is responsible for search and rescue in a wide swath of ocean stretching from Alaska to the North Pole and the Kamchatka Peninsula, an area that does not overlap with Canada’s territorial claim.
