A Review Article on an Appraisal of Maritime Laws as a Mechanism of Community Governance for Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

As a result of the world's reliance on the blue economy, approximately 80 to 90% of commerce is marine; we cannot lament the Maritime’s interlinking associations with joint stability, social governance, and sustainable development, even in the least environment. There are robust links between maritime laws and community governance. These relationships are concerned with both socioeconomic and sociopolitical stability. Despite regular legislation to protect marine interests, challenges still need to be solved, which can only be accomplished via collaborative governance subject to maritime security. It is well-known that the blue economy, closely related to marine safety, is a source for assuring economic strength. This research aims to conduct a descriptive evaluation using a qualitative technique to highlight the concerns and challenges of naval legislation involving social control. This review will explicitly discuss the possible measures to overcome and eradicate the existing flaws by making suggestions to ensure communal management for desired outcomes regarding sustainable development goals, as well as strapping and long-term improvement of the socioeconomic and sociopolitical affairs between the states. This research will also discuss potential measurements and methods for determining desirable results for present requirements and future demands for altering Pakistani society to achieve long-term development objectives.

Assessment of the Effectiveness of National Park Policies and Laws in Promoting Biodiversity Conservation and Ecological Sustainability in Pakistan

“…Due to inadequate enforcement, public indifference, and population growth, Pakistan's biodiversity loss problem persists despite numerous regulations. To address these issues, Pakistan must strengthen its legal and regulatory frameworks, enhance law enforcement, and increase public awareness of biodiversity protection (Hussain and Bhatti, 2023). The detrimental effects of tourism on the environment can be reduced through careful planning and management of tourism within protected areas.…”

Technology advancement and international law in marine policy, challenges, solutions and future prospective

“…Regulatory gap, existing international governance frameworks, such as UNCLOS, may not comprehensively cover emerging technologies or adequately address evolving marine challenges, necessitating the development of new regulations and governance mechanisms (Hussain and Bhatti, 2023;Kostruba et al, 2023;Moshiul et al, 2023).…”

“…Socioeconomic impacts, implementing technology-driven policies should consider potential socioeconomic disparities, ensuring equitable access to benefits, mitigating negative impacts on local communities and traditional practices, and addressing potential economic disruptions (Reducing environmental impacts through socioeconomic transitions: critical review and prospects | SpringerLink, n.d.). Talking these challenges requires ongoing international collaboration, knowledge sharing, capacity building, and the development of robust legal frameworks that can keep pace with technological advancements and emerging marine issues (Hussain and Bhatti, 2023; A Review Article on an Appraisal of Maritime Laws as a Mechanism of Community Governance for Sustainable Development Goals | Pakistan Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, n.d.). By overcoming these challenges, the effective integration of technology and international law can contribute to sustainable marine policies that promote the conservation and preservation of our oceans for future generations (Narayanan et al, 2023).…”
