The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea lays down a comprehensive regime of law and order in the world's oceans and seas; it is an umbrella convention which establishes rules governing all uses of the oceans and their resources. In so doing, it embodies in one instrument raditional rules for the uses of the oceans and at the same time introduces new legal concepts and
regimes and addresses new concerns. The Convention provides the framework for further development of specific areas of the law of the sea.

Developments relating to the oceans and the law of the sea are monitored at the global level by the United Nations Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (DOALOS), Office of Legal Affairs. The Division serves as the secretariat of the Convention and provides assistance to States in the effective implementation and uniform and consistent application of the Convention. It also monitors all issues relevant to the Convention and reports annually to the General Assembly of the United Nations on those developments. (see "About the Division")

This marked the culmination of more than 14 years of work involving participation by more than 150 countries representing all regions of the world, all legal and political systems and the spectrum of socio/economic development. The Convention, which entered into force on 16 November 1994, embodies and enshrines the notion that all
problems of ocean space are closely interrelated and need to be addressed as a whole. Today it is the globally recognized regime dealing with all matters relating to the law of the sea...
