Introduction

“We know that in conflict, there is the only outcome that is A Victory.”

– Late General Shri Bipin Rawat (C.D.S.)

The Military¹ which is commonly known as The Armed Forces protects a country from its enemies. Having a strong-armed force is very important for any nation-state. It ensures our internal peace, gives security from external threats, helps in maintaining friendly relations, makes us capable of giving humanitarian assistance when needed, helps us in carrying out disaster relief as well as gives us much needed respect and importance in the world pedestal as having a powerful military makes foreign countries honor their agreements and treaties. There are numerous other important benefits to any country in having a robust military.

In India, the military or armed forces are comprised of three wings and they are; The Army², The Air Force, and The Navy. As the topic suggests our focus here would be on The Indian army and the laws that apply to it.

The Indian Army is the land-based and the largest wing of the Indian armed forces/Indian military which are professionally headed by The Chief of Army Staff who comes under the direct control of The Chief of Defense Staff appointed by The President of India being The Supreme commander of The Armed Forces in India.

Laws applicable to The Army

There are several laws that apply to the army and they are as follows:

1. The Army Act, 1950;
2. The Army Rules 1954;
3. The Territorial Army Act, 1948;
4. The Regulations for the Territorial Army, 1976; and
5. The Army and Air Force (Disposal of Private Property) Act, 1950.

1. The Army Act, 1950³
   This Act was made to consolidate and amend laws relating to the regular army. A need for the general revision of the already existing 3 Acts namely The Army Act, 1911; The Navy Discipline Act, 1934; and The Indian Air Force Act, 1932 was felt necessary as the provisions in those Acts were very out of date and insufficient as per the modern requirements after the independence. The need became imperative for obvious reasons and for making the law on the matter a self-sufficient one. The object was also to make all the 3 armed force services similar in form and fulfilling to the demand and special requirements that each service might demand. The Army Act, 1911 had severe punishments and also has not defined the offenses properly as well as the punishments were not based on the gravity of offenses committed. The new 1950 Act also enhanced the status and responsibility of The Army Courts. This new Act was framed to suit the new constitutional setup, to bridge the gap between the army and the civil laws, to bring the new law in conformity with The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The limitation period for commencement of trial was increased from 6 months to 3 years. The power to issue a summons for the production of documents and to compel appearance was introduced. Many other consequential amendments were also made. This Act was passed by The Parliament on 22nd May 1950 and it came into effect on 22nd of July 1950. This Act has been rarely amended and has almost remained the same since it was first enacted.
2. The Army Rules, 1954⁴
   The rules are an extension of The Army Act, 1950 as they were framed in exercise of the powers conferred by section 191 of the Army Act, 1950. These rules cover the service conditions including enrollment, attestation, oath, affirmation, tenure, transfer, dismissal, discharge and termination from service, release from service on medical grounds, retirement from service, resignation from service, rights of servicemen as well as the restrictions on their rights, the authorities empowered under established commission, and, the rules & procedures of trials. These rules were notified in the official gazette on the 27th of November 1954.
3. The Territorial Army Act, 1948⁵
   The territorial Army is that part of the regular army that has been relieved from the regular army to perform its duties and assist in civil administration during times of natural calamities and maintenance of essential services when lives of communities and security of the nation are at risk.⁶ Clear by its name, this Act was introduced to constitute Territorial Army was enacted on the 10th of September 1948.
4. The Regulations for the Territorial Army, 1948⁷
   The rules are an extension of the Territorial Army Act of, 1948 as well as they supersede the 1948 Act. These rules cover the service conditions i.e. The constitution and establishment, appointment, and duties of commanders, recruitment, appointment, promotion, retention, resignation, transfer and retirement of servicemen, discipline, offenses, punishment, duties, training, uniform, equipment, accommodation of commanders and servicemen as well as it covers finance, reports, returns, books, forms the of organization and of servicemen serving in the Territorial Army. These rules were notified in the official gazette of India on the 2nd of March 1976.
5. The Army and Air Force (Disposal of Private Property) Act, 1950⁸
   This Act was enacted with the intention to dispose-off the private property of persons who die, desert, are found to be of unsound mind, or are officially reported missing while they were in active service. The Act also makes provision for the appointment of the committee which decides what property belongs to the persons mentioned above and who are persons legally entitled to be his or their legal representatives so that after the due process the property can be handed over to them. This Act was enacted on the 28th of April, 1950, and was enforced on the 22nd Of July, 1950.

There are other laws as well which are relevant to or have provisions relating to the Army such as; The Constitution of India, 1950; The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958; The Armed Forces Tribunal Act, 2007; The National Service Act, 1972; and The Indian Reserve Forces Act,1888. But these laws are not primarily and specifically focused on Laws relating to Army and hence, they are not covered in this article and are intentionally left for detailed discussion maybe for some other day.

Introduction

The law of the sea is the foundation for the crucial marine trade that drives our economy which formalizes the key norms of freedom of passage for national security. It allows India to protect, manage, and use the resources of our bordering waters and continental shelf for the sake of the environment and the economy. For centuries, the sea was sole of importance to humanity as a source of food and continue exploiting the norms of the sea and its habitat. After the introduction of legislation such as the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the water bodies have been protected worldwide to secure a chance for future generations to use those water bodies for their very existence. So, why do we need to know about the Law of the sea? What importance does it possess?

As a resident of this planet, people should be aware of the territorial sea’s extent, which administers coastal fish populations, the laws governing straits passage, and a slew of other rules that allow the seas to function harmoniously. We just do not understand the basic laws if some governments claim five nautical miles for their territorial sea and others claim three hundred nautical miles. The rule of law, however, is much more important since it acts as a check on authority.

UNCLOS

The international community implemented a holistic framework for legal control of the seas with the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Legislation of the Sea (UNCLOS) in 1982, which has developed into a formidable body of law over time. UNCLOS unifies the four Geneva Conventions into a single instrument. This treaty unified existing international law and established new maritime law and organizations. In terms of substance, however, it goes much further than the four. The “new” law of the sea, for example, expands the rights of coastal governments in both descriptive and analytical aspects, in some cases significantly.

• The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) was formed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1982 as an independent legal authority. It has jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of the Convention’s interpretation or application, as well as those topics expressly provided for in any other agreement conferring jurisdiction on the Tribunal.
• The UNCLOS also has a separate legal body known as the United Nations Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (UNDOALOS) which provides nations and global institutions a variety of legal and technical services relevant to the UNCLOS, such as information and assistance as well as conducting research and compiling studies for proper implementation,

Objectives:

1. To encourage the peaceful usage of the oceans and seas.
2. To make international communication easier.
3. To make ocean resources fairer and more efficient to use.
4. The aquatic ecosystem must be protected and preserved.
5. The goal is to increase maritime safety.

Maritime Areas under UNCLOS

1. Territorial Sea
   A coastal State’s territorial sea is limited to 12 nautical miles from its baseline. The coastal State has complete authority over the air space above the sea, as well as the seabed and subsoil, within this zone. An innocent passage is a name given to this form of territorial transit by foreign ships. The right to innocent passage can, however, be prohibited if the maritime state’s security is jeopardized. However, the coastal state has certain obligations, such as Article 21(1) – (4) of UNCLOS, Constitution requires the coastal state to implement relevant laws protecting the right to innocent passage. That is to say, the coastal state has the responsibility to safeguard the safety of innocent passage under Article 22(1) of UNCLOS.
   Innocent Passage (Article 17 of UNCLOS) – Passage is legal as long as it does not jeopardize the coastal state’s peace, good order, or security. To put it another way, the vessel exercising its right of an innocent passage should not represent a substantial and intolerable threat to the coastal state.
2. Continuous Zone
   The contiguous zone Article 33 of UNCLOS is the area of the sea beyond and adjacent to a coastal state’s territorial sea. It may not exceed the breadth of the territorial sea, which is estimated at 24 miles. Contiguous zones provide the coastal state with an extra-jurisdictional territory for restricted reasons. The authority that a coastal state has over this region is confined to the prohibition of conduct that might violate its customs, fiscal, and immigration regulations. It can also intervene if any action in the adjacent zone jeopardizes territorial norms.
3. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
   Exclusive Economic Zone or Patrimonial Sea (Article 55 of UNCLOS) is a territory outside and near to the territorial sea that is subject to the legal system, under which the coastal State’s rights and jurisdiction, as well as the rights and freedoms of other States, are controlled by the provisions relating of this Convention. The EEZ is a belt of the sea next to the shore that stretches up to 200 miles from the territorial sea’s baselines.
4. High Seas
   The section of the sea that is not included in the exclusive economic zone, territorial sea, internal waters of a coastal state, or archipelagic waters of an archipelagic state is known as the high seas (Article 87 of UNCLOS). All governments have access to the high seas for the purposes of navigation, overflight, artificial island construction, fishing, and scientific study. The high seas are designated for peaceful international navigation. Slavery, piracy, ship confiscation, illicit drugs trafficking, and unlawful broadcasting have all been prohibited by legislation.
5. Continental Shelf
   The continental shelf [Article 76(1) of UNCLOS] is defined as a region whose outer border is not more than 350 nautical miles from the baseline or 100 nautical miles from the isobath at 2500 meters. In this area, the coastal state has exclusive rights to explore and develop its natural resources. The state also has sole authority to permit and control any shelf drilling for whatever reason.

Concluding Observations

After analyzing the above study, it can be concluded that the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea has provided the strategical framework to govern the International Law of the Sea. It can be considered that the UNCLOS has comprehensively described the extent to which a state’s sovereignty extends to the sea’s edge for a peaceful usage of the water bodies for all nations which clearly eliminates the idea of conflicts between them.
