STUDENT COMMENT

Abstract

Special problems are presented by the potential for criminal conduct in Antarctica. Various modes for asserting criminal jurisdiction are discussed, and the author concludes that a novel approach is required. The author proposes the creation of a multinational tribunal, which would incorporate certain traditional aspects of international courts but would also be designed to meet the unique needs of Antarctica.
