Abstract
This paper discusses the legal problems surrounding international straits and the law of the sea which seem to come down to three main questions: 1. Can non‐signatory, non‐ratifying states to the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea enjoy the codified and guaranteed rights of innocent, transit, and archipelagic sea lanes passage? 2. What are the legal rights of coastal/straits and archipelagic states to regulate innocent, transit, and archipelagic sea lanes passage? 3. Are the concepts of innocent, transit, and archipelagic sea lanes passage part of customary international law?
