All naval operations are meant to be carried out within the framework ofinternational law, which now centres around the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982. An understanding of today's law of the sea is critical for domestic as well as international maritime trade and inevitably of course, for national security. This book provides clarity on what the legitimate use of ocean space is and what is not, examining the new jurisdictional boundaries or functional divisions of the oceans into several maritime zones along with their military implications UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198060000.001.0001 ER -
