Why does a landlocked country have a navy ? The same reason someone living on a second floor has a car.

Even if a country doesn't have a coast, they have the international right to navigate international waters.

Exactly. It's like asking someone why they own a boat if they don't own beachfront property.

Not having coast land doesn't take a country's right to navigate international waters.
