SSFI Lunchtime Seminar - Freedom of Navigation in the Strait of Hormuz: Yes, No, Maybe? | SYNOPSISThe Israeli/US armed attack on Iran has placed the international spotlight on the Strait of Hormuz and the freedom of navigation. The Strait has been subject to closure, blockade, and military conflict for many months. This has raised issues with respect to the legal status of the Strait of Hormuz during both peacetime and during the armed conflict. It has also given attention to the global regime of transit passage through international straits, including for the Straits of Malacca. These issues will be discussed including the possible legal regime that may apply in the Strait of Hormuz in the future.
