  • In legal Latin, mare clausum (meaning literally "closed sea") refers to any sea or other navigable body of water which is under the jurisdiction of a particular country and which is closed to other nations. Historically, Portugal and Spain defended a Mare clausum policy during the period of discoveries and colonial expansion . This was soon challenged by other European nations. In The Free Sea (Mare Liberum, published 1609) Hugo Grotius formulated the new principle that the sea was international territory and all nations were free to use it for seafaring trade. Grotius, by claiming 'free seas', provided suitable ideological justification for the Dutch breaking up of various trade monopolies through its formidable naval power (and then establishing its own monopoly). England, competing fiercely with the Dutch for domination of world trade, opposed this idea and claimed sovereignty over the waters around the British Isles. In Mare clausum John Selden endeavoured to prove that the sea was in practice virtually as capable of appropriation as terrestrial territory. As conflicting claims grew out of the controversy, maritime states came to moderate their demands and base their maritime claims on the principle that it extended seawards from land. A workable formula was found by Cornelius Bynkershoek in his De dominio maris, restricting maritime dominion to the actual distance within which cannon range could effectively protect it. This became universally adopted and developed into the three-mile limit.
  • Mare clausum (latijn voor "de gesloten zee") is een term uit het internationaal recht die aanduidt dat een zee of een ander bevaarbaar water onder de jurisdictie van één enkele staat valt en niet voor andere staten toegankelijk is. Mare clausum is een uitzondering op het algemeen aanvaarde principe van Mare Liberum. De term is afkomstig van het boek Mare Clausum van de Engelse rechtsgeleerde John Selden waarin hij probeerde te bewijzen dat het net zo goed mogelijk was om een stuk zee toe te eigenen als een stuk land.
  • Mare clausum é um termo legal latim que em português se traduz literalmente como "mar fechado". Refere-se a qualquer mar ou massa de água navegável que esteja sob a jurisdição de um país, sendo vedada a outras nações. Historicamente, Portugal e Espanha defenderam a política de "Mare clausum" durante o período dos descobrimentos e da expansão colonial. O que viria a ser contestado por outras nações europeias. Em 1609, na obra Mare Liberum, Hugo Grotius formulou um novo princípio, segundo o qual o mar era território internacional, com todas as nações livres de o utilizar. A Inglaterra, em competição cerrada com os holandeses pelo domínio do comércio mundial, opôs-se a esta ideia e procurou provar que o mar era na prática tão passível de ser apropriado quanto o território terrestre. Da controvérsia gerada entre estas duas visões, encontrou-se uma base sustentável, limitando o domínio marítimo à distância de um tiro defensivo de canhão. Este seria universalmente adoptado e estabelecido como o limite das três milhas marítimas da costa.
