“States without Access” to and from the sea constitute almost one-fifth of the states in the international community. Despite being recognized by several international instruments, landlocked states have yet to enjoy their full rights. The UNCLOS offers a thorough legal framework for controlling the resources and uses of ocean areas. However, it also substantially limits the rights of landlocked states to maritime resources, severely restricting their ability to engage in international and seaborne trade. This essay examines the rights that landlocked governments enjoy under the UNCLOS, including the rights to access marine resources, navigation rights, and sea access. Additionally, this article delves into the obstacles that impede the effective execution of these rights as well as the diverse strategies employed to address the issues associated with their enforcement.
