Abstract
A review of the laws of the former Yugoslav Federation related to its maritime areas since 1948 is followed by a presentation of the contents of the Part Two of the Croatian Maritime Code of 1994, concerning: internal waters, territorial sea, exclusive economic zone, continental shelf and the right of hot pursuit. An analysis of these provisions is made in the light of Croatian obligations, especially these arising from the 1982 UNLaw of the Sea Convention. Restrictive regulations on innocent passage of foreign warships through Croatian territorial sea are considered in terms of respective provisions in codification conventions, State practice and leading doctrinal views.
