Abstract [eng] Abstract This thesis looks at how UNCLOS and related international law protect underwater infrastructure like submarine communication cables and pipelines. It asks if the current framework really shields them from jurisdictional fragmentation, enforcement problems, and environmental harm. It also examines hybrid threats and whether more legal development is needed in practice.
