1 Fauchille, after asking the question: “les progrès de la science, et spécialement les progrès de la science aéronautique, ne devront-ils pas avoir nécessairement une influence sur la détermination de la mer territoriale?” reproduces passages from the article entitled “L’Aviation sur les eaux territoriales,” published by M. Henry Couannier, in the Revue juridique internationale de la Locomotion aérienne, Vol. IV, pp. 252 et seq., and concludes as follows: “Pour être logique jusqu’au bout, c’est donc, d’après M. Henry Couannier, cette portée (celle de la vue d’un avion) qu’il faudrait admettre comme mesure de la zone territoriale; et ainsi la longueur de cette zone devrait être d’environ 15 milles, au lieu de 6.”

2 It should be mentioned here that the necessity of extending the zone of the territorial sea in case of war has also been recognised (1894 draft of the Institut de Droit international).

Although, according to a statement by the Committee, we are not called upon for the moment to consider the codification of the public international law of war, that aspect of the problem ought not to be forgotten.
