This work makes both a historical and legal analysis of the process leading up to the 1973 adoption by Argentina and Uruguay of the Treaty concerning the Río de la Plata and its Maritime Front, a wide watercourse that between the 16th and 19th century was object of rivalry between Spain and Portugal, Great Britain and France, continuing later between the South American countries, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. The book makes a legal interpretation of the innovative solutions adopted by the Treaty for the River, the Common Fishing Zone in the adjacent sea, the Bi-national Commissions and other matters including its subsequent application, thus providing a systematic and updated insight into navigation, fisheries and pollution prevention among other uses.

"... a valuable tool, not only for those involved in the management of such complex and vast geographic spaces, and researchers on international law in both coastal countries, but also for readers elsewhere interested in the practicalities of the creation and implementation of legal regimes for shared maritime or river regions, both from the point of view from the law of international waterways and of the law of the sea."
