p:abstract
  • The Cod Wars, also called the Iceland Cod Wars were a series of confrontations in the 1950s and 1970s between the United Kingdom and Iceland regarding fishing rights in the North Atlantic. The name of the conflict may be derived from a pun on the term "Cold War", possibly via the British tabloid press. In 1972, Iceland unilaterally declared an Exclusive Economic Zone extending beyond its territorial waters, before announcing plans to reduce overfishing. It policed its quota system with the coast guard, leading to a series of net-cutting incidents with British trawlers that fished the areas. As a result, a fleet of Royal Naval warships and tug-boats was employed to act as a deterrent against any future harassment of British fishing crews by the Icelandic craft. In 1976, a compromise between the two states allowed a maximum of 24 British trawlers access to the disputed 200 nautical mile (370 km) limit. Two-hundred-nautical-mile Exclusive Economic Zones became recognized internationally on November 14, 1994, after having been agreed at the conference on the Third United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1982.

  • Torskkrigen var en serie konflikter åren 1948-1976 mellan Island och huvudsakligen Storbritannien gällande rätten att fiska torsk utanför den isländska kusten. Det andra torskkriget mellan Island och Storbritannien hade sin bakgrund i Islands utsträckning av sin fiskegräns 1972 från 12 till 50 sjömil utanför kusten. Detta ledde till en konflikt om vilken ekonomisk zon ett land kunde ha men också om vilka fångstmetoder som var acceptabla vid djuphavsfiske. Brittiska trålare som tog sig in i zonen skyddades av den brittiska flottan. Konflikten löstes 1973 när den isländska regeringen tillät ett begränsat antal brittiska trålare att fiska inne i zonen. 1975 utsträckte Island sin ekonomiska zon till 200 sjömil utanför kusten vilket gjorde att konflikten blossade upp igen 1975-1976. Den isländska kustbevakningen ingrep mot brittiska trålare och klippte av fiskenäten. Mot den isländska kustbevakningen ställde den brittiska flottan upp 22 fregatter. Det förekom incidenter mellan isländska kustbevakningsfartyg och brittiska fregatter. Konflikten löstes när den isländska regeringen hotade med att stänga den amerikanska flygbasen i Keflavík. (sv)
  • Se conoce así a la serie de luchas principalmente entre Islandia y el Reino Unido por los derechos de pesca, preservación ambiental y la protección de su economía en el Atlántico Norte desde los años 50s hasta los 70s. El nombre Islandés para este conflicto es Þorskastríðin. (es)
  • Turskasota (engl. Cod War, isl. Þorskastríðin) oli sarja Islannin ja Yhdistyneen kuningaskunnan välillä vuosina 1958–1976 vallinneita diplomaattisia selkkauksia. Kalastuselinkeinoaan puolustanut Islanti siirsi asteittain aluevesirajaansa kauemmaksi ensin neljän, sitten 12, 50 ja 200 meripeninkulman päähän rannikosta kieltäen brittiläisiltä kalastajilta pääsyn alueelleen. Omien kalastajiensa ja kalanjalostusteollisuutensa etuja puolustanut Britannia ei hyväksynyt tätä. Seurauksena oli lieviä väkivaltaisuuksia ja vakava välirikko. Tilanne kärjistyi lopulta siihen, että Islanti katkaisi diplomaattisuhteensa Britanniaan. Pian tämän jälkeen Britannia taipui Islannin vaatimuksiin. (fi)
  • Die drei so genannten Kabeljaukriege entwickelten sich vornehmlich zwischen Island und dem Vereinigten Königreich in den Jahren 1958-1975. Allerdings war auch die Bundesrepublik Deutschland an einigen Konflikten beteiligt. Island weitete seine Fischereigrenzen von vier auf zwölf, dann auf 50 und zuletzt auf 200 Seemeilen aus. (de)
  • Torskekrigen var en serie sammenstøt mellom Island og Storbritannia fra 1958 til 1976. Konflikten baserte seg rundt britiske fiskere i islandsk farvann og Islands utvidelse av sitt territorialfarvann. Mest alvorlig var krisen mellom 1973 og 1976 etter at Island utvidet sitt territorialfarvann. Storbritannia anerkjente ikke den nye islandske grensen. Derfor ble konflikten trappet opp med nærgående patruljer med kystvaktskip fra begge land der det forekom at skipene støtte i hverandre. Konflikten ble avsluttet da Island truet med å stenge NATO-basen på Keflavik; stenging av denne basen ville sterkt svekket NATOs forsvarsmuligheter av Nord-Atlanteren mot eventuelle sovjetiske angrep.
