Deniz: Have you ever heard of Admiralty Law?

Lale: No, I haven’t. Can you explain it to me?

Deniz : Sure! It’s a body of law that governs nautical issues and private maritime disputes. It consists of both domestic law and private international law.

Lale : That sounds interesting. Is it similar to the law of the sea?

Deniz : No, it’s actually different. The law of the sea is a body of public international law dealing with navigational rights, mineral rights, jurisdiction over coastal waters, and the maritime relationships between nations. Meanwhile, admiralty law specifically deals with private maritime disputes.

Lale: I see. Have there been any international developments in this field?

Deniz : Yes, there have. Due to the international nature of the topic and the need for uniformity, there have been considerable international developments in admiralty law since 1900, including several multilateral treaties. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea has even been adopted by 167 countries and the EU, and disputes are resolved at the ITLOS tribunal in Hamburg.
