The international arbitration case between South Korea and Japan in the field of exclusive economic zones (EEZ) has been raised as one of the most important challenges of international maritime law in recent decades. This case, which is caused by historical and political differences between the two countries, seeks to determine the limits and exploitation rights of marine resources in the disputed areas. Considering the wealth of resources available in these areas, these disputes have not only legal dimensions but also deep economic and political dimensions. In this article, various aspects of this case are analyzed, including the relevant international laws, the arbitration process, and its effects on international relations. Also, the results of this arbitration can be used as a model for the settlement of other maritime disputes at the global level.
