Legislation and competent authority (Danemark)
The maritime areas under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of coastal states are governed by international law, particularly the law of the sea, which encompasses all the rules related to the definition and use of maritime areas. This law of the sea is based on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), signed on December 10, 1982, in Montego Bay (Jamaica) and ratified by France on April 11, 1996. This convention defines the various maritime areas that can be claimed by coastal states as well as the rights and obligations of states over all maritime areas.
UNCLOS specifies the different categories of areas over which states can exercise their sovereignty or jurisdiction.
Sovereignty areas:
-- Internal waters
-- Territorial sea
Jurisdiction areas:
-- Contiguous zone
-- Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
-- Continental shelf
