Diplomatic tensions erupt over Yi Peng 3 in Kattegat

Description

Denmark and Sweden lack the authority to enforce laws or investigate incidents beyond their territorial waters, according to Birgit Feldtmann, a law professor at Aalborg University and expert in maritime law. She explains the legal limitations faced by Denmark and Sweden in the case of the sabotaged data cables involving the Yi Peng 3. Ms Feldtmann points out that the legal framework is inadequate, leaving China, as the flag state, as the key decision-maker unless diplomatic negotiations alter the situation.
