International waters, also known as the high seas, begin 12 nautical miles (approximately 22.2 kilometers) from a country's coastline. Within this 12-nautical-mile zone, a nation has sovereignty over its territorial waters. Beyond this limit, the waters are considered international, where no single nation has jurisdiction, allowing for free navigation and fishing, subject to international law.
