Law of The Sea Convention Tor Johnson

The Law of the Sea Convention (LOSC) The LOSC is an international agreement that was resolved as a result of the third UN convention on the Law of the Sea, which took place from 1973 until 1982 The convention is primarily enforced by the International Maritime Organization, the International Whaling Commission, and the International Seabed Authority

Function The function of the convention is to set national boundaries in the sea It was put in place after nations were constantly expanding their own boundaries in the sea, going from 3 miles from the coast to over 200 miles The convention sections off the ocean off of coastlines into different zones such as exclusive economic zones (EEZ), contiguous zones etc. in which states have different rights to conduct business and create laws.
