Beschreibung
Ocean governance has its legal basis in the United Nations Convention on
the Law of the Sea and in numerous international maritime conventions.
These rules help to balance conflicting interests in the uses of the
oceans and seas and the protection and preservation of the marine environment.
Their efficiency depends, however, on their enforcement. In 2007
Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Peter Ehlers and Prof. Dr. Rainer Lagoni organized a
seminar on `Enforcement of International and EU Law in Maritime Affairs‘.
Participants were graduate scholars of the International Max Planck
Research School for Maritime Affairs (IMPRS) at the University of
Hamburg and graduate students. Their papers cover various aspects of
enforcement relating to the new Wreck Removal Convention and to rules of
the European Union, such as port State control, enforcement measures in
fisheries, the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), protection of
maritime boundaries and inquiries into maritime casualties. The volume
includes also an analysis of the maritime policy of the EU as a new
integrated approach to maritime activities.
