Overview of Maritime Security and the Law of the Sea:

  • Comprehensive exploration of all challenges to maritime security, encompassing terrorism, piracy, naval warfare, marine pollution, and illegal fishing.
  • Examines the influence of legal changes post-9/11 on the fundamental tenets of maritime law.
  • Spotlights present-day issues in maritime security and proposes creative solutions.

Description of Maritime Security and the Law of the Sea:

"Maritime Security and the Law of the Sea explores the rights and responsibilities of nations in addressing a wide range of maritime security challenges. The book offers a thorough examination of various aspects of maritime security to evaluate the impact of responses on the development of the law of the sea. The topics covered include the passage of military vessels, military activities at sea, law enforcement actions in different maritime zones, information sharing, intelligence gathering, armed conflict, and naval warfare. This comprehensive analysis not only considers conventional security issues related to naval power but also addresses contemporary maritime security threats like terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, piracy, drug trafficking, environmental damage, and illegal fishing.

While safeguarding sovereignty and national interests remains crucial in the context of maritime security and the law of the sea, there is a growing acknowledgment of a shared interest among states when addressing various modern maritime security challenges. The argument is presented that security interests should be accorded greater consideration in our understanding of the law of the sea, given the evolving dynamics of exclusive and inclusive claims to ocean use. The interpretation and application of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea may need to exhibit more flexibility to allow for appropriate responses ensuring maritime security."
