Law of the Sea Arbitration and Dispute Resolution

The Law of the Sea Arbitration and Dispute Resolution refers to legal processes used to settle disagreements between countries over maritime issues, like territorial waters, fishing rights, and navigation. Governed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), these mechanisms include negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. Countries can seek resolution through international courts or tribunals, ensuring that ocean resources are used fairly and that conflicts are managed peacefully, thus promoting cooperation and stability on the seas. This framework helps uphold international law and protect marine environments.
