Law of the Sea is a body of international law that concerns the principals and rules by which public entities, especially states, interact in maritime matters, including navigational rights, sea mineral rights, and coastal waters jurisdiction. It is the public law counterpart to admiralty law, which concerns private maritime intercourse.

~~The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, concluded in 1982 and put into force in 1994, is generally accepted as a codification of customary international law of the sea.~~

Can't disputes also be solved via conciliation, arbitral tribunals, and special arbitral tribunals? Bravebrother (talk) 23:50, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect

Being not much more than a stub which references the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, it would make more sense to just redirect to the main convention article. Travelmite (talk) 02:21, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

For clarification

Perhaps we should put a disclaimer saying "Not to be confused with cannibalism." Sea Captain Cormac 18:32, 17 December 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cormac Nocton (talk • contribs)

US Navy standard reference on the Law of The Sea (1961)

This is an interesting topic that is outside what I normally read about. I see that after the 1958 UN conference, the US Navy put out a standard reference on The Law of the Sea (Franklin, 1961) which I understand was for decades kept on every naval ship (a version might still be). It should be of interest to researchers as it was written at the US Naval War College and provided officers with the interpretation and guidance they were expected to adhere to.

Suggestions for improvement

These suggestions for improvement were collated as part of this project but we ran out of time:

Lead should include more of what is in the article.
Add linkage to SDG 14 (relevant target).
Article needs more Wikilinks in and out.
Need to link to the new evolving Marine Biodiversity Treaty https://www.un.org/press/en/intergovernmental-conference-marine-biodiversity EMsmile (talk) 11:40, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
