Glandin, S.V. Conventional mechanism of broadening the borders of the continental shelf and the Russian Federation (international legal problems of review of the application of the Russian Federation to the UN Commission on the borders of the continental shelf).

Abstract: The continental shelf is one of the newest institutions of international maritime law. This is a spatial area that is subject to the jurisdiction of the coastal State in relation to natural resources. The proper international legal regime of the continental shelf of a coastal State under modern international law consists of a number of factors: the implementation of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea into national legislation, the compliance of national legislation with the norms and principles of international maritime law and the existence of delimitation agreements with adjacent and opposing States. The article by S.V. Glandin examines the problems related to the rights of the Russian Federation in the Arctic region.
