THE LEGALITY OF FOREIGN PEACETIME MILITARY ACTIVITIES IN THE EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE OF ANOTHER STATE

Abstract

The author argues that in the absence of provisions explicitly regulating foreign peacetime military activities in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of another states, disputes about this issue can be resolved only a case by case basis. This legal lacunae should be remedied. With that in mind, the author shall look at the negotiation process and the resulting provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) 1982. Subsequently, state practice related to the above activities shall be examined. By using both methods the author shall attempt to offer an interim solution to the problem at hand.
