| Summary/Abstract |
The Antarctic Treaty System provides the corpus of law that governs the obligations of its Parties to protect and conserve the Antarctic environment. The System consists principally of the Antarctic Treaty (the Treaty), the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CAMLR Convention), and the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty (Environmental Protocol). The Antarctic Treaty establishes the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting – the body that makes decisions under the provisions of the Treaty and Environmental Protocol. The CAMLR Convention establishes the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) – its decision-making body. Together, these two international bodies are responsible for the modern-day conservation and environmental management regimes for Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. This paper looks at the scope of law developed under the Antarctic Treaty System and its evolution; and at the interaction between the different components of the Antarctic Treaty System. The paper also forecasts some of the future challenges to conservation and environmental protection in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.

| Summary/Abstract |
ON DECEMBER 1, 1959, the Antarctic Treaty was signed by Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, the Soviet Union, the United States, France, Chile, the Union of South Africa, and Japan. Its founders were the states engaged in scientific research on the sixth continent as part of the 1957-1958 International Geophysical Year (IGY) program. The Antarctic Treaty was the first international legal act to regulate the activities of countries, establish a governance framework and determine the nature of interstate relations in the Southern Polar Region. Drafted at the height of the Cold War, the document became a model for defusing international tension and an example of practical joint effort by states to address global scientific problems. Peace, international cooperation, research, and environmental protection were the fundamental objectives of the Treaty.

| Summary/Abstract |
TRANSIENT changes in the modern world order have a significant impact not only on the foreign and domestic policies of individual states, even the most isolated ones, but also on vast geographic regions of our planet. One of them is Antarctica, which occupies about 52.5 million square kilometers, or one-tenth of the Earth's surface, around the South Pole. This area of the planet, which has no state or customs borders and no permanent population, industry, agriculture, transport communications, urban settlements, or military bases, is under international control. This control regime was established by the Antarctic Treaty of December 1, 1959 (hereinafter referred to as the Treaty), and other regional acts of international law included in the Antarctic Treaty System. Despite its uniqueness and natural isolation, Antarctica continues to be influenced by world politics and economics.
