The sheer vastness of the world’s oceans creates a range of security and law enforcement challenges for states and the international community, including in preventing and punishing human rights abuses at sea. While human rights apply at sea the same as they do on land, this article examines the limits of national, regional and international systems of human rights governance and international law in addressing violations of human rights at sea. It asks: what are the barriers in inter-state cooperation that prevent the prosecution and prevention of human rights abuses at sea? In answering this, the paper focuses specifically on issues of human trafficking at sea and forced labour on fishing vessels by analysing two judicial processes in Southeast Asia. It argues that responding to these human rights challenges at sea requires a collective and coordinated approach that centres the rights and safety of individuals at state, regional and international levels.
