Through this detailed and exceptional account, he provides legal classifications for the Viro Strait in the Gulf of Finland as well as the Irbe Strait and the Sea of Straits in the Gulf of Riga. Consequently, the passage rights of foreign ships and aircrafts in the northeastern part of the Baltic Sea are determined. The author demonstrates that the legal regime of the Estonian Straits has been and continues to be determined by such factors as the outer limits of maritime zones, treaties, islands, maritime boundary delimitation, domestic law on internal waters and baselines as well as geopolitical implications (particularly the concept of State continuity).International Straits of the World17.StraitsBaltic SeaStraitsFinland, Gulf ofInnocent passage (Law of the sea)fastInternational lawfastStraitsfastInnocent passage (Law of the sea)Finland, Gulf ofInternational statusRiga, Gulf of (Latvia and Estonia)International statusAtlantic OceanBaltic SeafastAtlantic OceanGulf of FinlandfastAtlantic OceanGulf of RigafastEstoniafastViro & Irben straitsStraitsStraitsInnocent passage (Law of the sea)International law.Straits.Innocent passage (Law of the sea)341.4/48Lott Alexander1193327NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910796782903321The Estonian straits3845898UNINA
