ПОСЛЕДИЦИТЕ ОТ ПОКАЧВАЩОТО СЕ МОРСКО РАВНИЩЕ ВЪРХУ ТЕРИТОРИАЛНИТЕ ВОДИ И ПРИЛЕЖАЩИТЕ КЪМ ТЯХ ЗОНИ

Abstract

Due to the rising sea levels, many states have begun seeing their coastlines continually recede, while some island states face the total loss of their landmass. This issue was never addressed in international treaties and leaves a grey area. This paper will examine the current efforts of the International community to create a rule that would recognize the existing territorial waters and the connected maritime zones as well as the pushback against that new interpretation.
