Abstract

The Framework Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea, which concluded recently between Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkmenistan, is a great step on the long path of rescuing the fragile Caspian Sea environment devastated by the economies of the coastal States, unsustainable exploitation of the non-living resources of the seabed and negative impact of illegal fishing. The Convention complies with all current standards of modern international environmental law and should be seen as a part of the progressive development of international legislation on environmental protection.
