- The US Navy recently conducted Freedom of Navigation Operation in the Indian Ocean Region near Lakshadweep.
- During the operation, the US warship entered the Exclusive Economic Zone of India without seeking prior consent from India.
- According to the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), countries cannot prevent ships from using Exclusive Economic Zone.
- However, according to Indian laws, any foreign military must inform before conducting any activity in the Exclusive Economic Zone of India.
- India, being a developing nation, is yet to explore its EEZ to the fullest.
