The Legal Aspects of the Permanent Link Project Between Africa and Europe via the Strait of Gibraltar

This master's thesis examines the legal dimensions of the proposed permanent fixed link between Africa and Europe across the Strait of Gibraltar. The project was initiated following the 1979 visit of Spanish King Juan Carlos I to Morocco, driven by the shared vision of King Hassan II and King Juan Carlos to strengthen Moroccan-Spanish relations. A general agreement on scientific and technical cooperation was signed between the two countries in November 1979. The study explores the legal frameworks, bilateral treaties, and international law implications surrounding this ambitious infrastructure project. The thesis was defended on November 2, 1987, at the Faculty of Law in Casablanca for the Diplôme d'Études Supérieures in Public Law.
