What is the International Law of the Sea?

This law describes the rights and responsibilities of states and citizens on the high seas. It is a body of customary international law that regulates navigation, the protection and conservation of the oceans, the conduct of fishing, and the exploitation of the natural resources. It defines the rights and duties of the coastal states and of the coastal citizens of the high seas and the rights and duties of ships, vessels, and aircraft.

The History of the International Law of the Sea

The history of the International Law of the Sea was initially developed by the International Law Commission of the United Nations (ILC). Its purpose was to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date set of rules for the peaceful uses of the world’s oceans, seas, and sub-sea areas by international law. The first significant work to be produced by the ILC was the Convention on the High Seas (1958), which is still in force today. The second major work was the Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III, 1982). The Convention is often referred to as the ‘blue book’ because of its blue cover. The third major work was the UNCLOS IV (1982) which provided additional guidance on the Law of the Sea.

The International Seabed Authority

The International Seabed Authority (ISA) was established in 1982 under the Convention on the High Seas (UNCLOS III) to administer the exploitation of the seabed resources of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of coastal states and to promote the safety of navigation, the protection of the marine environment and the prevention of pollution.

The ISA is governed by a board of twelve members appointed by the United Nations General Assembly and headed by the United Nations Secretary-General. The ISA has six work program areas. These include the regulation of the exploitation of seabed resources, the management of the ISA, the promotion of the scientific study of the oceans, and the protection of the marine environment.

International Agreements Governing the Law of the Sea

When navigating international waters, the rules can be complicated. From the way you use the GPS on your phone to what you can do in international waters, here are ten questions about the law of the sea that will help you understand the directions of the sea. The International Law of the Sea was initially developed by the International Law Commission of the United Nations (ILC). Its purpose was to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date set of rules for the peaceful uses of the world’s oceans, seas, and sub-sea areas, following international law. Today, the direction of the sea is regulated by a large number of international agreements, treaties, and conventions, which are enforced by international organizations such as the UN. These agreements are often known as the Conventions on the Law of the Sea (or the UNCLOS).

Further Reading on the International Law of the Sea

While the ILC is currently active, its work is primarily done. There are still many outstanding issues. However, the vast majorette modern-day problems are covered by the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Although UNCLOS is a treaty, it is not a binding treaty. That is, the signatory nations are not obligated to adhere to it. In other words, if you have a dispute with another country, you can bring your case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The ICJ is a court created by the UN and is located in The Hague.

Conclusion
