Sinking Iran’s Frigate IRIS Dena and the Law of Naval Warfare - Just Security

Legal scholars and international law organizations, such as those contributing to Just Security, are actively analyzing the application of the law of naval warfare to potential incidents involving naval vessels like the IRIS Dena. These analyses aim to clarify legal frameworks such as proportionality and distinction in armed conflict at sea. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) works to regulate shipping and maritime safety, though its direct role in specific naval warfare legality is limited. Readers can support organizations focused on international law and maritime security, and engage with academic discussions on these legal frameworks.
