The notions of ‘preferential right’ and ‘interest’ of sates in the protection of the underwater cultural heritage
description
The notions of preferential right and interest of states are not alien to general international law or the law of the sea and, as hypothesis, there is a subtle and plausible trend to prefer the later before the former when addressing the legal regime of global commons. Considering the underwater cultural heritage (UCH) as a possible component among these commons, this article discusses how to build up a legal regime protecting UCH progressively abandoning the presence of rights and its substitution by the notion of interest. A quest for the holders of this interest and their identification in casu through the revisited notion of verifiable link, the content and extent of their legal capacities and the responsibilities these stakeholders may have ⎯particularly states⎯, and the legal regime governing all these issues are the purpose of these pages. This article will discuss first the notion of preferential right as used in international law and the law of the sea, in general, followed by the study of the presence and projection of that notion in current international legal texts governing UCH. The same scheme of analysis will be followed when addressing the notion of legal interest and its performance as an operative concept both at the general level of international law and the law of the sea and, later, how this notion may be creating a new legal and political canvas for the protection of UCH.

Considerando el patrimonio cultural subacuático (PCS) entre estos bienes comunes, este artículo analiza cómo construir un régimen jurídico que proteja el PCS abandonando progresivamente la presencia de derechos y su sustitución por la noción de interés. Una búsqueda de los titulares de este interés y su identificación in casu a través de la noción revisada de vínculo verificable, el contenido y el alcance de sus capacidades jurídicas y las responsabilidades que los actores interesados puedan tener (particularmente los Estados), y el régimen jurídico que rige todos estos temas son el propósito de estas páginas. Este artículo discutirá primero la noción de derecho preferente como se usa en el derecho internacional y el derecho del mar, en general, seguido por el estudio de la presencia y proyección de esa noción en los instrumentos jurídicos internacionales actuales que rigen el PCS. Se seguirá el mismo esquema de análisis cuando se aborde la noción del interés jurídico y su desempeño como un concepto operativo tanto a nivel general del derecho internacional como en el derecho del mar para, más adelante, estudiar cómo esta noción puede estar creando una nueva estructura de análisis para la protección del PCS.2019text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7200185(Revista) ISSN 1697-5197Revista electrónica de estudios internacionales (REEI), ISSN 1697-5197, Nº. 38, 2019engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
