Legal Regulation of the Activities of Operational Units of Law Enforcement Agencies in Maritime Spaces

The paper deals with the problems of control over crime in the sea, contradictions and gaps in regulations that determine the procedure for considering reports of crimes, conducting operational-search measures when committing criminal acts outside the Russian Federation. The existing legal regimes in the sea do not take into account the specifics of operational search activities and, therefore, are not applicable for detecting, suppressing and solving crimes, as well as making decisions on received messages and statements. The author formulates recommendations for law enforcement officers, as well as makes proposals for improving international tools and departmental regulations aimed at solving the problem associated with ensuring compliance with the rules of law in the sea. It is important to note that the improvement and expansion of law enforcement capabilities can be achieved through the adoption of effective measures that combine the introduction of relevant provisions into national legislation, as well as international cooperation of many states.
