ITLOS (International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea)

The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) is an international court established under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). It resolves legal disputes related to ocean rights, maritime boundaries, fishing rights, and environmental issues. ITLOS ensures that countries follow agreed-upon laws to manage and protect the world's oceans and their resources. Its decisions are binding, helping maintain peaceful and lawful use of the seas, and it also provides advisory opinions on maritime law questions.
