Course Description
This intensive course will examine how the 1982 UN Convention
on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) is being developed through State practice
to deal with threats such as piracy, maritime terrorism and the proliferation
of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by sea. We will begin by examining
how UNCLOS strikes a balance between the interests of user states to use
the vital sea lanes of the oceans as highways, and the interests of coastal
states to protect their marine and coastal environment from ship-source
pollution. We will then focus on the Straits of Malacca and Singapore
, which is the busiest and most important sea lane in the world and vital
to the interests of States in East Asia . We will first examine the regime
of transit passage, and then e x amine the new Cooperative Mechanism adopted
in 2007 by littoral states, user states and the International Maritime
Organization to take cooperative measures to enhance safety of navigation
and environmental protection in the Straits. We will then examine the
steps that have been taken to deal with the threat of piracy and maritime
terrorism in the Straits, including the relevance of the 1988 Convention
for the Suppression of Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation
Convention (SUA). We will compare these measures to the difficulties the
international community is facing when attempting to combat Somali piracy
off the Gulf of Aden . We will then study the US-led initiatives to deal
with the threat of the proliferation of WMD by sea, including the interdiction
and inspection of ships under the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI)
and the resolutions of the UN Security Council on North Korea . We will
then examine the problems arising from US military activities in the exclusive
economic zone of China. Finally, we will examine the sensitive political
and legal issues relating to the sovereignty disputes over off-shore islands
in East Asia and over the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea , and
examine the relevance of UNCLOS and the prospects for cooperation or for
managing potential conflicts. We will conclude by examining the impact
of the recent extended continental shelf claims by States in East Asia
and Southeast Asia .
