The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and military activities
Abstract
The world oceans have played a crucial role in the contemporary international law, facilitating the communication and providing an important progress from the III United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea held between 1973 and 1982, not only in respect of living and non-living resources, but have also served, stated Boczek, as a battleground for innumerable armed conflict and an area for projecting naval power with political goals used for peaceful as well non-peaceful purposes. In this paper, we will make a brief description of the development of military activities, his connections with the pacific purposes of the sea and we will later refer to some ideas that may be a starting point for an academic debate.
