borderless maritime law

Borderless maritime law refers to international legal principles that govern activities on the high seas—areas beyond national jurisdictions. Since no single country owns these waters, international laws established through treaties like the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) regulate navigation, resource exploitation, environmental protection, and security. These laws ensure freedom of navigation while balancing the rights of countries to manage and protect maritime resources. Essentially, borderless maritime law creates a framework for peaceful and sustainable use of the global commons in the world's oceans, facilitating cooperation among nations.
