Fragmentação do direito internacional e o caso da convenção das nações unidas sobre o direito do mar e organização marítima internacional

Abstract

International Law encompasses a growing set of norms and institutions, which eventually cover overlapping issue areas. It creates potential inconsistencies, since the international legal system is run by different institutions that rely in distinct treaties. This underlying fact is known as the fragmentation of international law by the UN International Law Commission. As the relations between the UNCLOS and IMO look to be described by this concept, their case is to be object of a legal analysis in this essay.
