Resumen
More than 37 years ago the Spanish Organic Law on Law Enforcement Agencies entrusted the Guardia Civil with the public security role on maritime waters under Spanish sovereignty. However, despite the time that has elapsed and the high regulatory level of the law that included this assignment, the Guardia Civil’s jurisdiction in territorial waters is still being questioned today. This questioning comes, basically, from institutions which, at the time, carried out certain tasks that are now carried out by the Guardia Civil, or from others who claim executive powers that the current regulatory framework does not attribute to them. The regulatory arguments that support the fulfilling by the Guardia Civil (especially through the Maritime Service Division) of the different missions and tasks entrusted to them are set out below.
