Internal waters Sample Clauses
The "Internal waters" clause defines the areas of water that are on the landward side of a country's baseline, typically including rivers, lakes, and ports within its territory. This clause establishes that these waters are fully subject to the sovereignty of the coastal state, meaning the state has the authority to regulate access, navigation, and use by foreign vessels. Its core practical function is to clarify jurisdictional boundaries and ensure the state’s exclusive control over these waters, thereby preventing disputes over access and usage rights.

Internal waters. 1 Except as provided in Part IV, waters on the landward side of the baseline of the territorial sea form part of the internal waters of the state.
Internal waters. These are all waters landward of the baseline,18 over which the coastal State “exercise[s] the same jurisdiction and control … as they do over their land territory.”19 The baseline is an artificial line generally corresponding to the low-water mark along the coast.20 The coastal State has the responsibility for determining and publishing its baselines.
