Convention on the Law of the Sea

The Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) is an international treaty that defines the rights and responsibilities of countries regarding the use of oceans and their resources. It establishes rules for navigation, fishing, and the protection of marine environments, setting boundaries like territorial waters and exclusive economic zones (EEZs). The treaty aims to promote peaceful use, sustainable management, and cooperation among nations, ensuring that maritime activities are fair, legal, and environmentally responsible on a global scale.
