Abstract
Abstract In the 2008 Ilulissat Declaration the Arctic countries state that the present law of the sea framework provides a solid foundation for the responsible management of the Arctic Ocean, But difficult legal questions which expect to be clarified are still pending as regards navigation in the region. Specific tools have been developed to address navigation in the region (in particular, the IMO Arctic Guidelines), but need to be strengthened as to their legal nature. Other tools which have a general scope could be applied also in the specific context of the Arctic Ocean (for instance, area based management tools and marine protected areas). The Arctic Council, the forum of regional co-operation among the eight Arctic States, could become an instrument to discuss and promote commonly agreed measures.
