Conflicts of Interest in Carrying Out Trade and Implementation of Rights Between the Landlocked States and Coastal States

Author(s) Mr. Gokul K, Mr. Vignesh R
Country India
Abstract Sea is common for all and every state can exercise their rights and obligations, but for some states due to their geographical structure they are surrounded by other states which is addressed as landlocked state. The states which are surrounded by water is known as coastal states. In other words, it could be defined as states where it is fully surrounded by land but they cannot directly access the seas. As a result, it prevents them for exercising sovereignty overseas, carry out maritime transactions unlike coastal states. In order, to exercise such rights they have to completely rely on the coastal state, therefore it arises an obligation for the land locked states to maintain a good diplomatic and friendly ties with the coastal states irrespective of their difference in opinions and customs. Therefore, there arises an international legislative framework which prescribes rights and duties of coastal states towards land locked states and vice versa. Further, to fill this gap UNCLOS was brought into picture, which clarified the legal status of land locked states and rights and obligation of coastal states. Therefore, the central agenda of this paper is to analyses the conflicts occurring between costal and land locked states in sharing the seas. Further, it tries to assess the effectiveness of exercising the rights of land locked states and how far the international cooperation agreements are enforced. Finally, the paper tries to conclude by suggesting the better ways if needed, for establishing better cooperation among land locked and coastal states.
