授業の概要
This course critically examines the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in the light of contemporary international challenges such as maritime boundary disputes, the sea level rise, illegal fishing practices, whaling, irregular migrants by sea, emerging environmental issues such as marine plastics and underwater noise, modern piracy, and issues related to the protection of human rights at sea. This course further analyses other multilateral, regional, bilateral and unilateral strategies, both formal and informal, which are adopted by members of the international community in addressing these challenges and how they can conflict with or reinforce each other. This course not only highlights the limits and possibilities of the law of the sea, but also discusses crosscutting issues - the intersection between the law of the sea and other international legal disciplines including international human rights law, international criminal law, and international environmental law - and proposes strategies towards a systematic integration of different international legal disciplines.
科目目的
This course examines contemporary challenges in the law of the sea, analyses recent international judicial decisions in detail, and discusses how the law of the sea can evolve through law-making, policy-making, and interpretation. This course requires students to actively engage in classroom discussion based on questions posed during lectures.
到達目標
Students will be able to have a good understanding of the law of the sea. They will be expected to discuss whether existing international law is capable of addressing the contemporary challenges and to recommend alternatives to existing legal strategies.
