law of the flag

Read a random definition: nonuse

A quick definition of law of the flag:

The law of the flag is a rule in maritime law that states that the laws of the country whose flag a ship is flying apply to that ship. This means that if a ship is registered in a certain country and flies that country's flag, it must follow the laws of that country while at sea. It's like a ship is a citizen of the country whose flag it is flying.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The law of the nation whose flag is flown by a particular vessel where it is registered. This is known as the law of the flag.

Example: If a ship is registered in the United States and flies the American flag, then the law of the United States applies to that ship. This means that the ship must follow all the laws and regulations of the United States, even when it is in international waters.

Explanation: The law of the flag is important in maritime law because it determines which laws apply to a ship. When a ship is registered in a particular country, it is subject to the laws of that country, even when it is in international waters. This means that the ship must follow the laws of the country where it is registered, including laws related to safety, pollution, and labor. The law of the flag also determines which court has jurisdiction over any legal disputes involving the ship.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
