UN International Maritime Law

International Maritime Law, governed by the United Nations and other organizations, regulates activities on the world's oceans and seas. This body of law covers issues like shipping, navigation, and maritime boundaries, ensuring safe and fair use of marine resources. Key treaties, such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), establish guidelines for territorial waters, environmental protection, and the rights of coastal nations. These laws aim to balance the interests of different countries, promote peaceful use of oceans, and protect marine ecosystems, fostering cooperation and stability in international maritime activities.
