International Maritime Law, also known as Admiralty Law, governs activities on the world's oceans and seas. It encompasses a wide range of issues, including shipping, navigation, and marine resources. This body of law aims to ensure safe and efficient maritime operations while protecting the rights of nations and individuals involved in maritime activities. Key treaties, such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), establish guidelines for the use of ocean resources and the responsibilities of states. International Maritime Law also addresses environmental protection, piracy, and maritime safety, promoting cooperation among countries to manage shared maritime interests effectively.
