Based around the globe, the staff of the Programme provide support in the fight against armed robbery at sea, piracy the smuggling of migrants by sea, fisheries crime, maritime drug trafficking and smuggling that funds terrorism. This Manual brings together the material that GMCP staff have been using to explain the legal framework that underpins UNODC work in the area of maritime crime. It sets out the legal regime that governs the various maritime zones and the legal basis for tackling some of the most serious maritime crimes. Finally, it provides advice on effective boarding, searching and evidence collection on vessels at sea. The Manual will be used as a training tool in capacity-building work carried out by GMCP, as well as serving as a useful guide for everyday criminal justice practitioners. UNODC hopes that all criminal justice professionals, including prosecutors, investigators and those who enforce the law at sea, will find the Manual a valuable resource.

There is an extensive legal regime that covers conduct upon the oceans. 2. There are many treaties and customary international law rules that apply to conduct at sea. 3. The centrepiece of this regime is the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982, which, along with customary international law, governs conduct at sea. 4. It is vital that maritime law enforcement agencies know what laws their State has passed in order to make international law applicable: (a) Within their State’s maritime zones, (b) To people and vessels of their State, and (c) In some circumstances, to vessels without nationality, so as to enable their State to engage in maritime law enforcement and prosecutions in relation to breaches of those laws. 5. A flag State generally has exclusive jurisdiction over a vessel flying its flag. However, there are exceptions to this rule, which in some circumstances allow another State to exercise jurisdiction over that vessel or people, things and conduct in that vessel. 6. This Manual examines legal considerations in maritime law enforcement. As such, it does not address the use of force in relation to contested claims at sea, the law of armed conflict or other national defence operations. KEY TERMS INTERNATIONAL LAW: The rules and other norms, both written and unwritten, that govern legal relations between States. International law includes many rules and other norms that relate to the rights and obligations that States have or may claim in relation to maritime law enforcement. TREATY/CONVENTION: An international agreement concluded between two or more States which binds those States to act in a particular way, to relate with each other in a particular way and/or to manage competing claims and other issues between them through a particular process. These agreements are in written form and are governed by international law. CUSTOMARY INTERNATIONAL LAW: International obligations arising from established State practice which bind States in their conduct and relations and are not reduced to a written instrument. States abide by these legal obligations because they consider themselves legally obliged to do so. Such customary rules can sometimes be difficult to identify, and States differ as to which rules meet the requirements of being customary international law. IMPLEMENTATION IN NATIONAL LAW: For an international rule to be actionable within a State, or useable by that State’s agents (such as navies, coastguards and marine police) as an authorization or source of power, it needs to be incorporated into that State’s own national law. For some States, this is automatic; for example, a new treaty becomes part of the State’s national legislation upon signature and ratification. For other States, a further act of “domestication” is required, such as passing a new law or regulation which incorporates that international rule into national law. These approaches are often called the “monist” and the “dualist” system, respectively. MARITIME CRIME: Conduct which is perpetrated wholly or partly at sea and is prohibited under applicable national and international law. 4 MARITIME CRIME: A MANUAL FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE PRACTITIONERS INTRODUCTION 1.1 Why is it important for law to As a result, it is vital to have rules that govern how apply at sea? States manage resources, control crime and relate with one another at sea. However, these rules can still create There is an extensive regime of laws that applies in jurisdictional difficulties for States because at sea, relation to activities which take place in, over and jurisdiction is not always as complete, and the hierar- under the sea. Some of these rules are universal and chy of jurisdiction is not always as clear, as is generally therefore apply to all States; some are regional and the case in land territory. On land there is, at least in apply to a limited number of States in a certain geo- theory, always a clearly superior jurisdiction—that of graphic region; some are bilateral and apply only to the sovereign territorial State. the two States which have agreed to the laws. It is Consequently, the way in which jurisdiction is important to have such rules governing conduct and delimited at sea is by designating certain maritime relationships at sea for many reasons: First, the idea zones in which coastal States have certain rights and of a lawless space at sea (or in any other region) is by retaining the concept of sovereign jurisdiction over against the interests of States, and thus a system of vessels in the form of flag State jurisdiction. laws applicable at sea has emerged to ensure account- ability for proscribed conduct regardless of where 1.2 International legal regimes it occurs. that apply at sea Another reason is that State interests often interact at sea, for example when ships of different States Treaties. Many treaties apply at sea and in relation to collide or a national from one State harms a national the sea. The United Nations Convention on the Law from another State aboard a ship, and it is important of the Sea of 1982 (UNCLOS) is considered to be the to have rules which describe how to manage these fundamental expression of the rules governing general jurisdictional conflicts and crossovers. relationships and jurisdictions at sea. In effect, it is a A third reason is that the seas are divided into “constitution” for the sea. various zones in which States have different, and Other treaties deal with issues that are not specifi- sometimes competing, sets of rights, powers and obli- cally “maritime” in nature, but which can apply both gations.

The question of criminal jurisdiction is one of growing importance from the fact that a citizen of our State can be seriously affected in his property rights, or even have his life put in jeopardy, by the act of another living, a thousand miles away, and in any one of fifty or mare sover- eignties. If a citizen of the United States is killed by an explosive compound sent by a citizen of Russia with an intent to work that result in this country, it is a question of im- portance in which country the guilty offender shall be punish- ed.

  • China and the Law of the Sea: an Update
    IV China and the Law of the Sea: An Update Guifang Xue* Introduction his article examines the practice of the People's Republic of China with re­ Tspect to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea {1982 LOS Convention),l Two principal areas will be assessed: China's efforts to accom­ modate the challenges of the Convention to its ocean domain as a coastal State and its major maritime legislation to implement the Convention regime. The analysis begins with a brief introduction of China's maritime features and a review of its basic stance toward the Convention. This is followed by a discussion of the major challenges China encountered while establishing its ocean domain based on the Convention regime. China's efforts in implementing the 1982 LOS Convention through national legislation are examined to assess the consistency of that statu­ tory framework with Convention requirements. Finally, conclusions are drawn from China's law of the sea practice. It is shown that China, fo r its part, has been accelerating domestic procedures with a view to enabling it to comply with Con­ vention requi rements. However, China's maritime practice has not been wholly consistent with Convention provisions. At the same time, China's oceans policy adjustments indicate a move away from its previous position as solely a coastal ..

A Transnational Law of the Sea Josh Martin Abstract It is widely accepted that we are presently struggling to govern the vast expanse of the ocean effectively. This Article finally gets to the real cause of much of the failures of the law of the sea: Westphalian sovereignty. In particular, it evidences that certain features of our obstinate model of public international law—such as sovereign exclusivity, equality, and territoriality—can be linked with a large majority of the governance “gaps” in the global ocean context. It thereby exonerates the falsely accused Grotius’s mare liberum doctrine and flag state regulation, which both still continue to receive an unmerited level of condemnation. This Article also argues that worldwide searches for new integrated systems of ocean management are, in fact, a search for a new paradigm of governance, well-known among lawyers, but yet to be thoroughly analyzed in the law of the sea context, that of transnational law and governance.
