LAW 3916 - Law of the Sea


This course concerns the public international law of the sea. It addresses the legal rules that bind states in their international relations on maritime matters. The major maritime zones recognized in international law (internal waters, territorial sea, contiguous zone, continental shelf, exclusive economic zone, high seas and the deep seabed) are defined, and the rights and duties of states in each maritime zone are examined. The course emphasizes decisions of international courts and tribunals and the applicable treaties and conventions on the law of the sea, such as the Law of the Sea Convention, which was entered into force in 1994.
