“领海宽度”这个词,最早产生于14世纪,但是,数百年来,沿海国家对其邻海宽度始终没有形成一个统一的标准。1958年和1960年,联合国曾两次召开海洋法会议,对领海宽度问题进行专门讨论,但都没有取得任何结果。直到第三次联合国海洋会议结束,各国才就领海宽度达成一致意见。1982年 The term “territorial sea width” first came into being in the 14th century. However, coastal nations have not formed a uniform standard for the width of their neighbors for centuries. In 1958 and 1960, the United Nations held two meetings of the law of the sea to discuss the issue of the breadth of the territorial sea. However, none of them had any result. Until the end of the Third United Nations Conference on the Ocean, countries agreed on the breadth of the territorial sea. 1982
