Obligaciones de estatus de un “Estado del pabellón”: supresión de una transmisión no autorizada desde alta mar
Keywords:
flag state, maritime law, flag vessel, offshore, unauthorized transmission
Abstract
The investigation analyzes the status obligations of a “flag state” that are related to the suppression of the illegal use of “flag ships”. The purpose is to investigate the modern international legal regime of the suppression of an unauthorized transmission from the high seas and, at the same time, to prepare the doctrinal foundations for defining the complete complex of “flag State” obligations. In this regard, the subject is the international conventions that constitute the regime for the suppression of unauthorized broadcasting, which is carried out by ships on the high seas, adopted at one time by international organizations the League of Nations and the United Nations. The methodology consists of systematic and formal-legal methods, as well as methods of analysis and synthesis. The conclusions stress that States should take all appropriate measures with a view to achieving the results of the erasure. It should therefore be noted that these provisions are dedicated, inter alia, to “flag vessels” and “flag States”.
