Diploma in Maritime Law and Security

Law of the Sea is a body of Public International Law which deals with navigational rights, mineral rights, jurisdiction over coastal waters, and the maritime relationships between nations. Maritime law has two important components - national maritime laws and international maritime conventions, on the one hand, and the general maritime law (lex maritima), on the other. It is important to give maritime security a broader understanding due to diverse threats in the oceans and from the oceans.
