第七章 The law of the sea:The law of the sea7.1The law of the sea:Chapter 7 The law of the sea
7.2Development of LoS:Limited resources leads to competition, and also in the area of sea. There are many resources in the sea, and we need the sea to develop modern economy. Thus, it is really important for every state now in the modern international society,and every state has its own strategy to gain more and more rights in this area. Thus, we need the law to regulate the relations. Several discussions and negotiations appeared about the rules of the sea, including the width of the territorial sea and some other areas in the sea for the benefit of the coastal states and other states. Then, we finally have UNCLOS.
7.3Internal waters:When we talk about sea, internal water is the most important part. While actually internal water is not really a part of the sea, but a part of territory of a state. States can exercise all kinds of sovereign powers over its territory. What about the internal water? How to define internal water?
7.4Territory:Every state has its territory, and there are many kinds of boundary lines. If there are mountains between two states, the watershed could be deemed as boundary line;if there are rivers, the central line or the navigation line may be deemed as boundary. But that`s not all the situations. An example is the Yalv River, the whole river is the boundary line of China and Korea.
7.5Territorial sea (1):Coastal states definitely can have some rights over the territorial sea, just like its land territory. However there are some exceptions, that is "right of innocent passage". But all in all, compared with contiguous zone, exclusive economic zone and high seas, territorial sea is still the most important under controlled sea zone, under the coastal states` sovereignty.
7.6Territorial sea (2):The width of territorial sea decides the definite scope of territorial sea of states`. There is a process of development and expansion of width of territorial sea in the history. That is the necessary consequence of the development of modern society. Sea has more and more economic meanings. After Geneva Convention on the law of the sea in 1958, United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea gives us a maximal width of territorial sea.
7.7Territorial sea (3):Baseline is actually the very basis for us to measure internal waters, to measure territorial sea, contiguous zone and also exclusive economic zone. And there are two types of baseline, normal baseline and straight line.
7.8The contiguous zone:Contiguous zone is a very important belt of the sea, and UNCLOS has stipulated a lot of regulations about this kind of area. What kinds of rights do coastal states have on contiguous zone? What`s the width of contiguous zone? How to measure contiguous zone?
7.9Exclusive fishery zones and exclusive economic zones:Rules develop and complete with the development of international society. And especially for some states who claim much wider belt of the sea under their own jurisdiction so that they can get their economic harvest by this kind of claim. But there were lots of disagreements. And in 1982, the Convention on the Law of the Sea creates a new type of maritime zone, that is exclusive economic zone.
7.10Hot pursuit:Hot pursuit is a legal right of coastal states according to Convention on the High Seas and UNCLOS. Coastal states have the right to pursue a foreign ship when it reasonably believes that the ship has violated the laws and regulations of the state. And there are five requirements for the appliance of right of hot pursuit.
7.11Piracy:The issue of piracy is very popular these days and it has a very long history in the old times. Due to the importance of this issue, it is within the universal jurisdiction. But can other states intervene a specific piracy happen in other areas instead of high seas?Somalia situation provides us an example. If one state has no consent to exercise jurisdiction over the related situations, or has no ability to exercise its jurisdiction, the international community can do something to deal with the issue:
