International legal means of protecting the historical rights of Russia in the waters of the Northern sea route

Provocative actions of the United States of America in Arctic waters stimulate the Russian Federation to take steps to strengthen the legal regime of the Northern Sea Route. At the same time, Russia must rely on indisputable historical rights and focus on the legal experience of another large Arctic state – Canada, which defends its sovereignty in the waters of the Northwest Passage. At the same time, the Russian Federation has an extensive arsenal of legal means at its disposal. In addition to the provisions of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea – legal customs, historical title, environmental jurisdiction.
