The Åland Strait is closely connected to the Åland Islands, which were demilitarised in the international legal treaty ending the Crimean War in the 1850s. Following World War I, the Åland Strait was also regulated by the 1921 Convention relating to the Non-fortification of and Neutralisation of the Åland Islands. This book is the first to examine passage rights in the Åland Strait according to the Law of the Sea and its long history in times of war and peace.International Straits of the World18.Innocent passage (Law of the sea)Territorial watersFinlandÅlandÅland questionÅland (Finland)International statusBothnia, Gulf ofInternational statusInnocent passage (Law of the sea)Territorial watersÅland question.341.420948972Kleemola-Juntunen Pirjo1622523NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910822233003321The Aland Strait3956428UNINA
