Ownership of the Caspian Sea Remains Unresolved Among Five Bordering Nations

19 Ağustos 2026DW

The Caspian Sea is bordered by five countries, yet no single nation claims ownership of a defined portion of its waters. A convention established in 2018 set guidelines for navigation, security, and fishing rights, but it did not resolve all disputes regarding seabed boundaries.
As a result, tensions may persist among the bordering nations over resource rights and territorial claims.
The Caspian Sea is the world's largest enclosed inland body of water and is bordered by Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkmenistan, Iran, and Azerbaijan. The geopolitical significance of the region is amplified by its rich oil and gas reserves, making it a focal point for energy security and international relations.
The ambiguity surrounding ownership of the Caspian Sea highlights the complexities of international maritime law and regional geopolitics. With significant natural resources at stake, the unresolved seabed borders could lead to conflicts among the bordering countries.
