Freedom of the seas is one of the most debated principles of the law of the sea. International straits which connect international waters constitute an inevitable part of this debate. The impact of Europe on the development of international law began to be challenged in the 19th century with the rise of non-European actors. The United States has been a consistent supporter of this principle since its inception as an independent state. Since the first quarter of the 19th century rules and regulations governing navigation through international straits has been a specific case of interest for the US. In line with this policy the US pursued policies that would abandon practices violating the principle of freedom of the seas. Within this framework this article examines the US policy on international straits through two cases. The article takes the cases of the Danish Sound and Turkish Straits and explores the reasons why it preferred different policies in these cases
