[Translated from the Russian text in Izveshcheniia more plavateliam, no . 1 (1984 ) , item 15 , pp . 79-85 , by William E. Butler, Director of the Centre for the Study of Socialist Legal Systems , University College London, and I.L.M. Corresponding Editor for the U.S.S.R. ; reprinted from W.E. Butler, Collected Legislation Of The Ussr And Constituent Union Republics (Dobbs Ferry: Oceana Publications , 1979).

[As the U.S.S.R. is the largestmari time power to have signed the 1982 UNConvention on the Law of the Sea, the Soviet concept and definition of innocent passage for warships becomes the principal standard by which the convention provisions on the subject will be construed. Soviet policy on innocent passage reflected in the rules reproduced in this issue of I.L.M. represents the complete reversal of Soviet doctrinal views uttered since the Second World War on the rights of foreign warships to exercise a right of innocent passage.]
