Практическая значимость темы возросла в связи с увеличением использования судов, не имеющих или не способных подтвердить национальность в контексте нерегулярной миграции, контрабанды, торговли людьми, незаконного, несообщаемого и нерегулируемого промысла (IUU fishing), а также иных форм транснациональной морской преступности. Вместе с тем сохраняется правовая неопределенность относительно допустимого объема мер морского правоприменения против таких судов. Цель статьи – уточнить, в каких случаях государства вправе законно осуществлять меры посещения, досмотра, задержания и изъятия в отношении судов без национальности, а также определить минимальные гарантии, необходимые для обеспечения соответствия международным обязательствам в сфере прав человека и при миграционных операциях принципу non-refoulement. В исследовании применяются доктринальный правовой анализ и договорное толкование норм права моря, сравнительная оценка конкурирующих научных подходов к статусу судов без гражданства, а также анализ релевантной судебной и операционной практики. Полученные результаты предлагают практические критерии установления статуса судна без гражданства, разграничивают предписывающую и принудительную юрисдикцию и формулируют необходимость, пропорциональность и процедурную добросовестность в качестве базовых требований законного вмешательства в открытом море.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This article examines the international legal grounds and limits for the exercise of state jurisdiction over stateless vessels on the high seas. The topic has gained practical importance due to the increasing use of vessels lacking or unable to prove nationality in contexts such as irregular migration, smuggling, trafficking in persons, IUU fishing, and other forms of transnational maritime crime. At the same time, legal uncertainty persists regarding the permissible scope of maritime enforcement measures against such vessels. The purpose of the article is to clarify when states may lawfully conduct visit, inspection, detention, and seizure in relation to stateless vessels and to identify the minimum safeguards required to ensure compliance with international human rights obligations and, in migration-related operations, the principle of non-refoulement. The study employs doctrinal legal analysis and treaty interpretation of the law of the sea, comparative assessment of competing scholarly approaches to the status of stateless vessels, and an analysis of relevant judicial and operational practice. The findings propose practical criteria for establishing statelessness, distinguish between prescriptive and enforcement jurisdiction, and articulate necessity, proportionality, and procedural good faith as baseline requirements for lawful intervention on the high seas.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>судно без гражданства</kwd><kwd>открытое море</kwd><kwd>государственная юрисдикция</kwd><kwd>право посещения</kwd><kwd>морское правоприменение</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>stateless vessel</kwd><kwd>high seas</kwd><kwd>state jurisdiction</kwd><kwd>right of visit</kwd><kwd>maritime enforcement</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (adopted 10 December 1982, Montego Bay).
