Law of Maritime Navigation

The Law of Maritime Navigation, part of International Maritime Law, governs how ships travel across the world's oceans and waterways. It establishes rules to ensure safe navigation, protect marine environments, and resolve disputes between nations. Key aspects include defining sea boundaries, rights of innocent passage through territorial waters, and responsibilities for maritime safety and pollution prevention. These laws aim to promote peaceful and orderly use of the seas, enhancing cooperation among countries and safeguarding the rights of seafarers and shipping interests.
