Mechanisms for Combating Marine Plastic Pollution in International Marine Law
Summary
This paper reviews the international laws meant to stop plastic pollution in our oceans and finds they're falling short — current agreements lack real enforcement power. That matters for your health because ocean plastic breaks down into microplastics that end up in seafood, drinking water, and eventually our bodies, and the researchers argue we need a stronger, legally binding global treaty to actually get this problem under control.
This article analyzes the mechanisms for combating marine plastic pollution within the framework of international maritime law. The study was conducted based on the UNCLOS - United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and other international legal documents. The article presents the strengths and weaknesses of the existing international legal framework, practical implementation mechanisms, and recommendations aimed at solving the problem. In conclusion, it was noted that international legal mechanisms are insufficient and there is a need for a new, binding international treaty.
