Cornelius van Bynkershoek
Cornelius van Bynkershoek was a Dutch jurist and legal scholar, renowned for his influential contributions to international law, particularly in the realm of maritime jurisdiction. His seminal work in the early 18th century established the doctrine that a nation's sovereignty extended three nautical miles from its coastline, a principle that significantly shaped the legal framework governing maritime boundaries and oceanic resources.
