Similarly, law of sea is and area of international law that maritime issues. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) is the primary legal framework for regulating all ocean space and maritime activities. It establishes rules for various maritime zones, such as territorial waters, exclusive economic zones, and the high seas.
The South China Sea dispute is a prime example of the complexities of international law on the sea. Several countries, including China, Vietnam, and the Philippines, have conflicting territorial claims over islands and maritime zones in the South China Sea. Has disputes over rights, and gas exploration, and of navigation.
