Book excerpt: This is a contribution to the debate about the Law of the Sea, published to coincide with the signing of a new Convention. Despite comprehensive international rules on navigation contained in the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention, the right of innocent passage for all ships is still controversial in many respects - particularly the definition of non-innocent passsage, the recognition of the possibility of declarations, the innocent passage of warships or other special sea vessels.
