Understanding Maritime Military Operations within the Framework of International Law and Education
Military Operations under International Law and Education
Keywords:
Military, United, Nations, Convention, Law, Sea, DisputesAbstract
Maritime military activities are an important part of maritime activities between countries. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea has established a standardized mechanism for the settlement of maritime disputes between countries, but it has not clearly defined maritime military activities, and the ambiguity of this issue has become a legacy of the Convention. In the existing international judicial practice, the criteria for judging military activities are inconsistent, and there have been many disputes in related maritime disputes, reflecting the realistic dilemma in the identification of military activities. Today, when high and new technologies are continuously put into marine activities, the confusion between military activities and related marine activities has posed a great challenge to this vague provision. Combined with the existing cases of international judicial practice, when identifying maritime military activities, the regional situation and background at the time of the incident should be taken into consideration, and attention should be paid to whether the behavior mode exceeds the principle of “necessary and reasonable”, and the civil subject and the military-related subject should be distinguished at the object level.
