India-Sri Lanka Conflicts in the Palk Strait
Benová, Adriana ; Hons, Pavel (advisor) ; Blecha, Vlastimil (referee)
(in English): This bachelor thesis deals with the disputes between India and Sri Lanka due to the unclear determination of international maritime borders already under British domination. As a result, the fishermen of both countries still enter illegally into the adjacent waters for fishing. The situation complicates not only the struggle for the uninhabited island of Katchchateevu, which has been a controversy for almost a century, but also the entry of a third non-state actor, represented by a terrorist (originally rebellious) organization of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which stirred up problems in the civil war in Sri Lanka. This terrorist organization threatened the security of the area and, as a result, the region was stagnating economically due to a lack of foreign investment. The work aimed to analyze the issues, find the roots of these disputes, present the proposals and measures that have been taken over the years to solve the situation, and finally to mention some solutions for the situation in which the two countries are located.
