Protection of Citizens’ Rights in Maritime Law Enforcement

Abstract

With the increasing development of marine resources and maritime trade, maritime law enforcement has become increasingly important, yet the protection of citizens’ rights during law enforcement faces numerous challenges. Maritime law enforcement and the protection of citizens’ rights are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. On one hand, maritime law enforcement must fully safeguard citizens’ rights and interests to avoid abuse of power and illegal law enforcement. On the other hand, citizens’ rights and interests need to be effectively maintained and protected to ensure that their legitimate rights and interests in maritime activities are not infringed upon. Therefore, strengthening the protection of citizens’ rights in maritime law enforcement is not only conducive to enhancing the credibility and authority of maritime law enforcement, but also to maintaining social stability and harmony. This paper mainly explores the issues concerning the protection of citizens' rights during maritime law enforcement.
