The EEZ that was established by the UNCLOS ( ) is a fertile field of the economy which means “An area beyond and adjacent to the territorial sea, subject to the specific legal regime established in this Part, under which the rights and jurisdiction of the coastal State and the rights and freedoms of other States are governed by the relevant provisions of this Convention” ( ). This paper entitled “Exclusive Economic Zone in the Law of the Seas: Particular Reference to the Omani EEZ” examines the specific legal regime of the EEZ as provided in Part V of the 1982 UNCLOS and explores the Omani practice before and after its accession to the said convention in 1989. Such research has been conducted through three main interrelated sections. While section one dealt with the legal concept and status of the EEZ, section two discusses the question of the EEZ delimitation under the UNCLOS and applies that to the case of Oman. Section three dealt with the rights and obligations of States. in the EEZ irrespective of being a coastal or not has been discussed in section three with more focus on the Omani EEZ. This work, however, ended with a conclusion containing the most important results.
