الدول الأرخبيلية بين اتفاقية قانون البحار لسنة 1982 و الممارسات الدولية : إقرار للسيادة الوطنية أم غزو لأعالي البحار

Abstract EN

The archipelagic state obtained international recognition by concluding the U.N Law of the Sea Convention of 1982, but related practices demonstrated many problems, including the size of the water areas seized by these countries to protect their national unity, which is inconsistent with the freedom of maritime and air navigation and leads to a conflict between them and the maritime countries that defended their rights.

This article aims to define archipelagic states, baselines, and archipelagic sea lanes to illustrate the problems that arised from the recognition.
