Current Problems of International Legal Regulation of the Black Sea Environmental Safety

The problems of international legal regulation of the protection and preservation of the marine environment are especially acute for the coastal states of closed and semi-enclosed seas, i.e. the Black Sea, which, due to oceanographic and environmental conditions, are very sensitive to pollution entering them. The legal framework for ensuring the environmental safety of this natural object should take into account the unique hydrological features of the reservoir and be progressive. Currently, the legal regulation of the environmental safety of the Black Sea is carried out by the coastal states separately, which means that the current standards are not coordinated and sufficiently effective. This leads to local pollution, which, in turn, spreads to the entire sea. Thus, if the coastal states within the exclusive economic zone agree on a single legal mechanism for the entire Black Sea, such a multilateral agreement will be able to take into account the interests of all interested states without diminishing the sovereignty of any of the parties
