Security concerns of the ocean and sea are very important on the ground of the importance of the ocean, thus international community has been trying to combat a maritime security threat. While the securing of maritime security has great relevance to the international peace and security, it is most important for coastal states to secure the security. Coastal states need to have proper state's jurisdiction and exercise its jurisdiction to response effectively to a maritime security threat. The exercising of jurisdiction in the ocean is mostly based on the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982(UNCLOS). Thus, this paper examines the security jurisdiction of coastal states conferred by UNCLOS as a charter of the sea on the each maritime threats, and verifies whether is there any problems when exercising jurisdiction. For this, this paper observes the concept of 'maritime security', and studies any other treaties including other systems which can be applied in relation to securing the security threats.
