JIIA Lunchtime Webinar: “Understanding the Strait of Hormuz and International Law in One Hour”
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital artery for the world's crude oil transport. The situation is now shifting significantly, with reports of a ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, and the questions of international law surrounding these waters are drawing attention.
This webinar was designed for those with no prior background in international law. Professor James Kraska of the U.S. Naval War College, a leading authority on the international law of the sea, offered a clear and accessible one-hour explanation.
