Flores

Flores, also known as the International Oceanic and Atmospheric Law of 1982, is a United Nations treaty that governs the rights and responsibilities of countries regarding the use of oceans and their resources. It establishes guidelines for maritime boundaries, the preservation of marine environments, and the exploration of underwater resources. The law aims to balance national interests with environmental protection, ensuring that maritime activities are conducted sustainably and peacefully. By providing a legal framework, Flores helps prevent conflicts over ocean spaces and promotes cooperation among nations for the responsible management of the world's oceans.
