Which one of the following is not an exclusive right of the concerned coastal nations over Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)?
Answer d.
Navigation and laying of submarine cables are freedoms open to all states in the EEZ, not exclusive coastal-state rights. Under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, a coastal state has sovereign rights in its exclusive economic zone for exploring, exploiting, conserving and managing natural resources, living or non-living, and for activities such as producing energy from water, currents and winds. All other states keep the freedoms of navigation, overflight and laying of submarine cables and pipelines in the zone.
