| Course Description | The law of the sea is one of the oldest branches of international law. It emerges from the fact that the States exercise sovereignty over the conduct of activities taking place on or in the sea. Originally the law of the sea consisted of a body of rules of customary law. Later on, these rules were progressively codified. This course will examine the regulation of the sea as part of a State’s territory. The focus here is not to discuss how the regulation of the sea emerged in modern times and consider the various areas of the sea over which a State may exercise its jurisdiction, as well as discussing certain fundamental challenges militating against a full implementation of the law of the sea. | |||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Deniz hukuku uluslararası hukukun en eski dallarından biridir. Ortaya çıkıyor Devletlerin deniz veya deniz üzerindeki faaliyetleri üzerinde egemenlik kullanmasından ortaya çıkıyor. Başlangıçta deniz hukuku, örf ve adet hukuku kurallarından oluşuyordu. Daha sonra bu kurallar aşamalı olarak kanunlaştırıldı. Bu ders, bir devletin topraklarının bir parçası olarak denizin düzenlenmesini inceleyecektir. Bu dersin odak noktası odak noktası, deniz düzenlemesinin modern zamanlarda nasıl ortaya çıktığını tartışmak ve bir Devletin denizde yetkisini uygulayabileceği çeşitli alanları dikkate almak, yetkisini ortadan temel zorlukları tartışarak deniz hukukunun tam uygulanmasını engelleyen durumları öğrenmek değildir. |
