Information from the abstract
Abstract Peaceful protest at sea has generally been understood as an activity incidental to navigation, or one that is tolerated only where there is no conflict with other more established uses of the sea. This article takes a different approach, contending that peaceful protest at sea should be conceptualised as a lawful and distinctive maritime activity. It argues that peaceful protest at sea is best understood as a form of expression derived from fundamental human rights, and one that is consistent with the object and purpose of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to promote the peaceful uses of the seas and oceans. This carries practical implications for maritime regulation and enforcement. Conceived in this way, interference with peaceful protest at sea requires clear coastal State justification beyond general assertions of nuisance and requires closer attention to considerations of necessity and proportionality in the use of enforcement powers.
