Abstract
In the last decade we have witnessed an intense debate regarding the transshipment of radioactive materials through the territorial and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) waters of objecting coastal states. During this period, a handful of powerful nations have imposed the continued transportation of radioactive materials by sea against the sovereign will of over a hundred smaller and less powerful nations. Caribbean nations' uniform state practice, as evidenced by modern sources of international law, support the notion that an international legal norm has developed which allows states to regulate the passage of ships through their territorial and EEZ waters in order to protect the security and well-being of their people and environment. In the case of Caribbean nations, their state practice has led to the development of a nuclear-free zone in the Caribbean Sea. Keywords: Caribbean Sea; Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ); international law; nuclear-free zone; radioactive materials
