Abstract
Abstract Canals, defined as artificial waterways, are built with the aim of providing shorter transit time, cheaper and safer maritime trade. However, in order for constructed canals to be used effectively, it is important to determine their legal status according to their features. The fact that Kanal İstanbul is planning to build parallel to the Bosphorus, which is the natural waterway, ensures that Kanal İstanbul has its own unique features due to its location. Considering the importance of the Turkish Straits, the Kanal İstanbul, could be convenient for transportation and freight and be a convenient waterway for world trade. In order to ensure the effective use of the Kanal İstanbul, its legal status must be established. This article discusses the legal statuses of the Suez, Panama, and Corinth Canals, which have changed over time, and the legal status of the Turkish Straits, which has evolved over history and continues today under the Montreux Convention. In this context, the possible legal statuses that can be applied to the Kanal İstanbul are exam-ined.
