Skaridov A.S. Bering Strait legal regime and safety of the maritime traffic

Abstract: The author examined the questions and expressed his original thoughts regarding the legal issues of maritime traffic in the Bering Strait zone, considering the practice of ensuring its security. The subject of the research is the legal relations in the area of seafaring applicable to the Bering Strait legal regime. The article thoroughly reviews such questions as the analysis of legislation of the littoral states, regulation of seafaring, and safety of maritime traffic. The main emphasis is made on examination of the main navigation routs that can ensure the security in maritime traffic due to the increase of seafaring intensity in the Chukchi Sea. The scientific novelty is substantiate by the fact of absence of similar works on this matter in the Russian specialized literature. The relevance is justified by the need to introduction of the new legal and organizational measures aimed at ensuring security in seafaring in straits considering the possible increase of the intensity of seafaring, which is being forecasted based on the use of the Northeast Passage.
