Abstract

422 Estonia Rules of Navigation of Ships through the Territorial Sea and the Internal Waters of Estonia Estonia adopted rules on the navigation of ships through its territorial sea and internal waters on 13 July 1992.' Latvia and Lithuania, the two other newly in- dependent Baltic republics, preceded Estonia in adopting similar legislation.2 However, unlike Latvia and Lithuania, Estonia did not adopt this legislation as part of a law establishing the regime of the state boundary.3 The Rules of Navigation have been drafted with the 1958 Convention on the Territorial Sea and the Contiguous Zone as a guideline and proceed from Estonia's interest in the development of shipping.4 As a preliminary remark it should be noted the Rules of Navigation only establish a regime of passage, and do not address the consequences of the infringement of this regime. The right of innocent passage is extended to all ships, upon condition that the regulations of the Rules of Navigation are observed.5 The Rules of Navigation do not contain an explicit definition of either "passage" or "innocent passage".6 6 Where sea lanes or traffic separation schemes are established in the Estonian terri- torial sea, foreign ships are required to follow
