Kopylova Irina Aleksandrovna

the purpose of the study is to consider the problem of understanding the concepts of definition and delimitation in the context of legal status in the conditions of determinism of the phenomenon of differentiation and delimitation in which national zones, northern and southern spheres of demarcation, direct baselines and covering waters, national competencies and national sovereignty are expressed. the harmonious combination of this complex of concepts forms a mobile and effective system of interstate relations to resolve the caspian issue. The article deals with the practical application of the agreements reached by the Caspian states when signing the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea. The definition of legal status is understood as the establishment and consolidation of rights and rules of conduct in order to streamline interstate relations and relations between the contracting Parties. The scientific novelty of the study is to identify the problem, the essence of which is to search for and determine the historical and legal fate of the Caspian sea, which is implemented through practical actions in the context of interstate agreements. Here, the term "feedback" refers to the processes of ratification of the Convention on the legal status of the Caspian sea and subsequent demarcation within the framework of a set of agreements. As a result, the problem of delimitation and demarcation of the Caspian reservoir is revealed to be incomplete, where a key decision has been made, but at the moment it has not been fully implemented by the participants, which is related to the internal political issues of individual States in the region, as well as the global challenges of the present.
