Protection of the marine environment in disputed maritime areas (Master thesis)
Τσίκλου, Μαργαρίτα-Παρασκευή/ Tsiklou, Margarita-Paraskevi
This thesis attempts to examine the regulatory framework for the protection of the marine environment in disputed maritime areas. The study revolves around two pillars: on the one hand, the regulations provided for the protection of the marine environment both at the level of international, european and national legislation and at the level of customary international law and general principles, and on the other hand, the delimitation of maritime areas between states with adjacent or subject coasts that have overlapping claims. In particular, the first two chapters develop the definition, the types, the sources and the effects of marine pollution and provide an extensive analysis of the customary rules and general principles of international environmental law and the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982) and other international, european and national texts governing the protection of the marine environment. In this context, reference is also made to marine protected areas, while in view of the crucial importance of offshore energy installations and their impact on the environment, it was considered appropriate to analyse the main regulations concerning them. Subsequently, after clarifying the definition of maritime delimitation, the paper focuses on the main issue under consideration, namely the protection of the environment in maritime areas of overlapping claims. To this end, the obligations (conventional and customary) imposed on the states concerned pending the delimitation of their maritime areas, their permitted or prohibited unilateral actions in these areas and the alternative of joint development agreements are presented, in order to finally highlight the international practice followed in relation to the protection of the marine environment in the areas under delimitation. In conclusion, this study concludes with the assumption that in cases where the resolution of the delimitation dispute is difficult, it is necessary to find an appropriate alternative, which, based on state practice, appears to be the conclusion of joint development agreements. However, as it turns out, reaching such interstate agreements is not easy in practice.
