Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches
The lecture is directed to law students, particularly those participating in the Schwerpunktbereich 6: Völker- und Europarecht, and requires a basic knowledge of public international law.

The course is open to students participating in level 4 of the Law Faculty’s Fachspezifische Fremdsprachenausbildung (FFA). They will be given the opportunity either to obtain a certificate of regular attendance or to pass an examination, thus enabling them to fulfil the requirements for the FFA certificate.

Inhalt
The lecture serves as an introduction to the international law of the sea. The oceans are subject to various uses – navigation, oil and gas exploitation, fishing – and pressures – overexploitation, destruction of habitats, pollution from various sources, acidification – which threaten their vital functions. Finding a balance between different legitimate uses and environmental protection is the overarching aim of legal instruments dealing with the law of the sea. The lecture largely leans onto the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea for explaining the division of the seas into different maritime zones (internal waters, territorial sea, archipelagic waters, contiguous zone, Exclusive Economic Zone, continental shelf, high seas, “the Area”) and, particularly, the degree to which States exercise jurisdictional rights within these zones. As far as rights and obligations of States are concerned, the lecture inter alia deals with navigation, the protection of the marine environment, and marine scientific research. The lecture introduces to dispute settlement related to questions of the law of the sea and gives examples for its practical relevance.
