Abstract

The article covers the international legal status of the Caspian Sea. For more than 20 years, the international legal status of the Caspian Sea has been an important aspect of the foreign policy of the Caspian states and not only that, due to the preservation of peace, mutually beneficial cooperation and sovereign rights of coastal states to the wealth of the Caspian Sea. As agreed by all the Caspian states on August 12, 2018, the V Caspian Summit was held in Aktau, during which the heads of state signed the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea. Despite inter-state disagreements, it seems that, due to their relevance, the provisions of the Convention deserve a formal legal analysis containing some suggestions and comments. The subject of analysis of this article was international legal norms on the status of the Caspian Sea. This article aims to conduct a formal legal analysis of the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea in 2018.
