A U.N. Treaty We All Can Support

Abstract

The Convention on the Law of the Sea has become more than a treaty. It founded a new era on, under, and over the world's seas. It created the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and the Conference of States' Parties, among other bodies (where the United States, as a non-party, is not represented). It created new international law. It codified important elements of the customary law of the sea. It established new norms in the negotiation of multi-lateral, international treaty agreements.
