Nanotechnology Initiatives In Maritime Security: Legal Perspective

Shivam Kumar Pandey, Rashtriya Raksha University

ABSTRACT

Nanotechnology is a relatively new field of study that has the potential to significantly improve marine security. Sensing and detection, surveillance, protective materials, and energy efficiency are just few of the areas where technologies and materials based on nanotechnology are being developed and tested. Safety and environmental dangers, intellectual property rights, privacy and data protection, and compliance with international law are only some of the legal and regulatory problems that arise from using nanotechnology in maritime security. In this study, we investigate the current strategies and rules in place to deal with the legal and regulatory issues raised by nanotechnology's use in maritime security.
