Abstract: The adoption of the EEZ in the 1982 UNCLOS represents the culmination of an effort by some parts of the international community to separate "jurisdiction" over the natural resources in offshore waters from the "sovereignty" manifest in the territorial sea. It is clear that the EEZ is a zone that is neither territorial waters nor wholly high-seas. It is also a zone in which competencies are balanced between the need of coastal States to have sufficient authority to exploit and manage their economic resources and the need of all other States to retain high-seas navigation and communications freedoms and uses related to such freedoms. From South Korea's perspective, the EEZ is a sui generic zone in which military and intelligence activities are limited or not allowed without the consent of the coastal State. This is equally applicable in peace and war. Although several States stress that Article 58 of the 1982 UNCLOS permits such activities, increasing EW and IW capabilities may result in reinterpretation of certain provisions of the 1982 UNCLOS.
