Through these violations of international law, Russia is stealing Ukraine\u2019s energy and fisheries resources, harming the livelihoods of Ukrainian fishermen, and blocking traffic to Ukrainian ports with its illegal bridge over the Kerch Strait, among other serious violations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than respond to the merits of Ukraine\u2019s case, the Russian Federation filed objections to the jurisdiction of the UNCLOS Tribunal on 22 May 2018, as permitted by the Tribunal\u2019s rules of procedure.\u00a0\u00a0In the statement of MFA of Ukraine on the Jurisdictional Phase of Proceedings in this case on 31 August 2018 Russia\u2019s primary jurisdictional objection concerning the Ukraine\u2019s attempt to obtain a ruling confirming Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty over the Crimean Peninsula were rejected. Moreover, Ukraine\u2019s sovereignty over Crimea needs no further confirmation: it is overwhelmingly accepted by the international community as a whole, and it has been affirmed three times by the U.N. General Assembly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MFA of Ukraine also refused Russia\u2019s allegation that the Sea of Azov and Kerch Strait are not subject to under the 1982 UNCLOS because Ukraine and Russia have agreed to maintain these areas as \u201ccommon internal waters\u201d. Yet, in reality, Russia has seized Ukrainian gas fields in the Sea of Azov, purported to unilaterally nullify Ukrainian licenses for such gas fields, unilaterally built a bridge and other structures across the Kerch Strait, and imposed unilateral limits on the dimensions of vessels that may pass through the Strait.\u00a0 Each of these actions is irreconcilable with Russia\u2019s assertion that Ukraine and Russia have maintained common sovereignty over the Sea of Azov and Kerch. MFA of Ukraine pointed that the state-aggressor must and will be held accountable for its serious breaches of the International Law of the Sea<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","publication-type":[43],"class_list":["post-29720","press-center","type-press-center","status-publish","hentry","publication-type-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>International Proceeding concerning the violation of Maritime Law by the agressor State - Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/en\/press-center\/international-proceeding-concerning-the-violation-of-maritime-law-by-the-agressor-state\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"International Proceeding concerning the violation of Maritime Law by the agressor State - Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"On 31 August 2018, the Tribunal hearing Ukraine\u2019s case against the Russian Federation under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/en\/press-center\/international-proceeding-concerning-the-violation-of-maritime-law-by-the-agressor-state\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ppu.gov.ua\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/ppu.gov.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ppu.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"830\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ppu_gov_ua\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ppu.gov.ua\\\/en\\\/press-center\\\/international-proceeding-concerning-the-violation-of-maritime-law-by-the-agressor-state\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ppu.gov.ua\\\/en\\\/press-center\\\/international-proceeding-concerning-the-violation-of-maritime-law-by-the-agressor-state\\\/\",\"name\":\"International Proceeding concerning the violation of Maritime Law by the agressor State - Mission of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ppu.gov.ua\\\/en\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2018-09-01T12:45:24+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ppu.gov.ua\\\/en\\\/press-center\\\/international-proceeding-concerning-the-violation-of-maritime-law-by-the-agressor-state\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/ppu.gov.ua\\\/en\\\/press-center\\\/international-proceeding-concerning-the-violation-of-maritime-law-by-the-agressor-state\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ppu.gov.ua\\\/en\\\/press-center\\\/international-proceeding-concerning-the-violation-of-maritime-law-by-the-agressor-state\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"\u0413\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043d\u0430\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ppu.gov.ua\\\/en\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Press service\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ppu.gov.ua\\\/en\\\/press-center\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"International Proceeding concerning the violation of Maritime Law by the agressor State &#8211;\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ppu.gov.ua\\\/en\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ppu.gov.ua\\\/en\\\/\",\"name\":\"\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u043d\u0438\u0446\u0442\u0432\u043e \u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0430 \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0438 \u0432 \u0410\u0420 \u041a\u0440\u0438\u043c\",\"description\":\"The website of the Representation of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea \u2014 a state body whose purpose is to facilitate the implementation of the powers entrusted to the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
