 Egemen devletler, ulusal hukuk hükümleriyle birlikte uluslararası hukuka göre deniz yetki alanlarını belirlerler. Türkiye’nin deniz mevzuatı bir hayli geniştir. Türkiye, denize ilişkin çok sayıda uluslararası sözleşmeye taraf olmuştur. Ayrıca yürürlükte bulunan çok sayıda kanun, yönetmelik ve daha alt seviyede düzenleyici işlem mevcuttur. Ne var ki, Türk hukukunda denizciliğin esaslarını düzenleyen bir çerçeve kanun kabul edilmiş değildir. Keza, Karasuları Kanunu hariç olmak üzere, diğer deniz yetki alanlarının belirlenmesini, bu alanlarda kullanılacak hak ve yetkileri düzenleyen bir kanun da mevcut değildir.

The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is not the only source for law of the sea. In fact, it is the weakest resource because it is a contract. The riparian states of the Eastern Mediterranean are attempting to declare an Exclusive Economic Zone to explore and exploit hydrocarbon resources. A coastal state can declare an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) without being a party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982 UNCLOS).

Although Turkey is not a party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, it is aware that the provisions of the contract have also become customary due to the fact that many countries are party to it and implement the rules of the said convention. Customs, which are a direct source of international law, are as effective and binding as international agreem...
