In the COVID-19 context will coastal States open their ports to cruise ships to meet the needs of people in danger? Can they prefer a more self-centered approach to protect their territory and exercise their sovereignty? The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal framework for the management of health risk by coastal States in the context of the coronavirus threat on cruise ships. The lack of a clearly defined common management strategy in face of major health risk complicates the situation. Only cooperation between flag States and port States will make it possible to overcome any conflicts of implementation between the State sovereignty principle and assistance to persons in distress at sea.

在 COVID-19 的背景下对游轮关闭的港口：沿海国家有哪些选择？

在 COVID-19 背景下，沿海国家是否会向游轮开放港口以满足处于危险中的人们的需求？他们会更喜欢以自我为中心的方式来保护自己的领土和行使主权吗？本研究的目的是分析沿海国家在邮轮冠状病毒威胁的背景下管理健康风险的法律框架。面对重大健康风险时，缺乏明确定义的共同管理策略使情况复杂化。只有船旗国和港口国之间的合作，才有可能克服国家主权原则的实施与海上遇险人员援助之间的任何冲突。
