Seabed Disputes Chamber

The Seabed Disputes Chamber is a specialized part of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, which helps resolve conflicts related to the exploration and use of the ocean's seabed, particularly in areas beyond national jurisdictions. Established under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, its role is to ensure that marine resources are used sustainably and responsibly, protecting the interests of all nations. The Chamber adjudicates disputes over seabed mining, environmental protection, and navigational rights, promoting peaceful solutions and cooperation among countries involved in ocean activities.
