Sandow Birk
Proposal for a Monument to the Free Sea from the series Imaginary Monuments, 2015
Ink on paper
60 x 42 inches unframed
64 ¼ x 46 1/16 inches framedMORE about this artworkFor the first time in this series, Birk draws upon documents from across eras and continents to portray a subject which affects countries and populations spanning the globe: the laws which govern the seas. The lighthouse in the drawing portrays the 200 word Preamble from the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Seas (UNCLOS). This document represents more than fourteen years of work and the cooperation of over 150 countries from all regions of the world, representing every political and legal system, and the spectrum of socioeconomic development. UNCLOS defines the rights and responsibilities of nations with respect to their use of the world's oceans, establishing guidelines for businesses, the environment, and the management of marine natural resources. The Convention, completed and opened for signature in 1982, replaced four 1958 treaties, and basically solidified long held, customary views of the uses of the sea. UNCLOS entered into force in 1994, a year after Guyana became the 60th nation to sign the treaty. Although the United States now recognizes UNCLOS as a codification of customary international law, it has yet to ratify it.
Fittingly, the base of the lighthouse draws from two historically important texts which, to this day, form the basis for the creation and interpretation of international and maritime law. The first text dating to the 17th century is by Dutch jurist Hugo Grotius. Grotius's 1604 treatise, De Jure Praedae Commentarius (Commentary on the Law of Prize and Booty) promoted the right of unobstructed navigation, and remains to this day one of the classic texts influencing the rule of law on the high seas. Grotius’s book on international legal doctrine, Mare Liberum (1609) is generally recognized as a paramount element in the formulation and interpretation of contemporary international law. The base of the lighthouse structure also contains a quote from President Woodrow Wilson’s speech “The Fourteen Points” given to the United States Congress in 1918, towards the end of World War I. In it, he mentions (as point 2) that the seas must be free to all nations. The “Fourteen Points” speech was the only explicit statement of war aims by any of the nations fighting in World War I, and eventually became the basis for the terms for Germany’s surrender at the end of the war.
