THE CURRENT REGIME OF THE TURKISH STRAITS
THE CURRENT REGIME OF THE TURKISH STRAITS
To identify the Straits as the Turkish Straits has historical, political and legal justification, such as: respect for past and present general practice; due regard to Turkey's sovereign rights over this particular area and to its jurisdiction according to established principles of international law; and to indicate and emphasise the location of the Straits, like the other straits of the world. The Turkish Straits comprises "the Strait of the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus"1 and named by the general term 'Straits'.2 The literature of international law generally uses the expression the 'Turkish Straits', as in Ferenc A. Vali,3 Anthony R. Deluca,4 H.N. Howard,5 H.G. Knight,6 Christos L. Rozakis and Petros N. Stagos,7 etc.
