The System of Law and Order at Sea Under UNCLOS 1982
No full textThe core function of UNCLOS is to provide a legal order for the oceans and their peaceful uses. This includes providing a legal frame for upholding law and order at sea, as this is a precondition for peaceful use. Part One of this volume deals with different perspectives of upholding law and order at sea; and Chapter 2 creates a backdrop for the following chapters dealing with these diverse issues. The chapter presents some perspectives on the system of law and order at sea and sets the following chapters in context with themes such as the scope of UNCLOS and its limitations, the adaptability of the convention to new developments, the role of the zonal system created under the convention and the influence of state practice on the system of upholding law and order at sea. By doing so, Chapter 2 also creates a line to the following parts of this volume; and some of the perspectives raised in Chapter 2 will be revisited in the final part (Part Four) of this volume, dealing with UNCLOS as a system of regulation and connected methodologies.</p
Introduction to UNCLOS 1982 as a System of Regulation
No full textChapter 1 introduces the general idea and some of the underlying themes of this volume and sets a framework for its structure and the following contributions. Forty years on, it is argued that UNCLOS indeed still has huge importance for the governance of the oceans but also has its limitations in different ways. This raises the question how UNCLOS can maintain its importance as the main instrument of legal ocean governance and how methodological approaches may support this. Taking the recent Nord Stream incident as an illustrative example, the underlying ideas about the timeliness of a volume on UNCLOS as a system of regulation are presented, followed by the themes that were given to the contributors to this volume as a backdrop for their own work. The chapter concludes with an outline of the four parts of this volume: law and order at sea; UNCLOS and human rights; UNCLOS and private actors; and UNCLOS and methodology.</p
