As we are all aware, UNCLOS, standing for the UN Convention of the Law of the Sea, is considered one of the cornerstone international conventions in the world of today’s maritime shipping. The subject convention was adopted back in 2012 and eventually was completed in 1994 through revising its nineth part dealing with the deep sea mining.
Nowadays, and in addition to the EU nations, there are more than hundred and sixty countries signatory to the convention. With more than thirty years in the making, it managed to get to the impressive breakthrough by bringing one of the more critical struggles to an end – we are talking about the control of the coastal nations over the resources in their coastal waters.
The decision and actual solution came with dividing the ocean and assigning two-hundred-mile economic zone to the coastal states, which can be used for their interest. Meanwhile, the ocean navigation retained traditional freedom, and this is one of the key points to consider at all times.
