ARRESTING AND DISTRAINING FOREIGN SHIPS PASSING THROUGH THE STRAITS UNDER THE MONTREUX CONVENTION
Abstract
The Montreux Convention has no clear provision as to the judicial jurisdiction of Turkey.
Lack of specific provisions regarding judicial jurisdiction of Turkey in the Montreux Convention
has led to emerge the question of whether foreign ships passing through Straits
can be arrested. Another issue on which the doubts must also be eliminated is whether
Turkey has a power in distraining on foreign ships passing through the Straits. In this
study, both questions are tried to be answered in accordance with the provisions of the three conventions namely the Montreux Convention, the 1958 Geneva Convention on the
Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone, the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law
of the Sea and attention is to be given to different opinions forwarded in academic circles
and various court decisions.
