L'Australie rappelle la déclaration faite comme suit par la délégation australienne
lors de la Conférence internationale de 1973 sur la pollution des mers:
«L'Australie est convaincue qu'aucun Etat riverain ne s'abstiendrait de prendre
les mesures qui pourraient être nécessaires pour protéger les zones relevant
de sa juridiction de dommages graves au milieu. Le droit international
coutumier reconnaît d'ailleurs, à son avis, à l'Etat riverain, le droit d'intervenir
en haute mer pour protéger les zones relevant de sa juridiction.»
Devenant Partie à la convention, l'Australie se déclare convaincue qu'elle peut toujours,
pour protéger les zones et ressources relevant de sa juridiction, prendre des
mesures qui sont permises en vertu de droit international coutumier et qui sont conformes
à la convention.
