International Law of the Sea: An Overlook and Case Study
Sea is a large body of water that is surrounded by the land. It is a crucial part of human trade and commerce, voyage, mineral extraction, power generation and is also considered as an essential source of blue economy nowadays. International law of the sea is a law of maritime space that peacefully settles the global disputes on maritime boundary between or among the States and defines various jurisdictions of the maritime zones as well as the rights and obligations of the coastal States in these zones, especially with regard to the conservation of marine environment and biodiversity. The key objective of this piece of academic research is to demonstrate a brief overview of the international law of the sea with a special emphasize on the sources and legal framework of this law. This study also strives to focus the civil and criminal liability, jurisdictions, rights and obligations of the coastal states with regard to the different maritime zones. Furthermore this study delineates the rules and extent of using these maritime zones in the light of various treaty provisions on the international law of the sea where different adjudicated cases are also presented along with a profound scrutiny upon their fact, issues, judgment and reasoning.

The establishment of a compulsory dispute settlement mechanism in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) is intended to be the guarantor of the proper application of the convention. Yet the decisions of courts and tribunals seized pursuant to the procedures under Section 2 of Part XV of UNCLOS are in many regards difficult to reconcile and in some regards unable to form the basis for a jurisprudence constante. This article examines on an empirical basis the scope and limits of the compulsory dispute settlement mechanism under UNCLOS, as applied by international courts and tribunals during a period of twenty years since the first decision in the Southern Bluefin Tuna case until the recent decision on preliminary objections in the Dispute Concerning Delimitation of the Maritime Boundary between Mauritius and Maldives in the Indian Ocean.
INTERNATIONAL LAW OF THE SEA; A BLEND OF LAW, POLITICS AND ECONOMICS
The Law of the Sea reflects the competing interests of Nations over the resources of the oceans since humanity first set forth upon the seas. The sovereign control over the oceans has been an ongoing concern prior to the 20th century under the concept of Mare Liberium and Mare Clausum. This principles developed and limited national rights and jurisdiction over a narrow band of water along a nations’ coast, with the rest of the sea free to all and belonging to none. With the technological developments of the 21st century which allows the exploitation of ocean resources that had never before been envisioned and accessible, there was a need to preserve the High Seas with its unimaginable rich resources as the common Heritage of Mankind. Nations began to negotiate their interests in the oceans and a universal regime known as UNCLOS III was agreed upon. These events display the fine blend of applied international law, politics and selfish economic interests as related in notable decisions of the ICJ. Today, there are new issues to be dealt with starting with pollution, the inevitable and intensive exploitation of high seas in the face of the 1994 Implementation Agreement, increasing jurisdictional claims amongst others. This research work analyses the making of UNCLOS III, dispute settlement mechanism, sustainable use of the oceans and the Nigerian Maritime Sector. This research work concludes with the arguments whether or not UNCLOS III has come to stay as the world legal order on the sea and proffer recommendations.
