Also called the Law of the Sea Convention or the Law of the Sea treaty, it is the international agreement that resulted from the third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III), which took place from 1973 through 1982 UNCLOS came into force in 1994 To date, 162 countries and the European Community have joined in the Convention. United States have not signed it.

* The Law of the Sea Convention defines the rights and responsibilities of nations in their use of the world's oceans, establishing guidelines for businesses, the environment, and the management of marine natural resources. * The most significant issues covered were setting limits, navigation, archipelagic status and transit regimes, exclusive economic zones (EEZs), continental shelf jurisdiction, deep seabed mining, the exploitation regime, protection of the marine environment, scientific research, and settlement of disputes

* UN has no direct operational role in the implementation of the Convention, while the Secretary General of the United Nations receives instruments of ratification and accession and the UN provides support for meetings of states party to the Convention. There is, however, a role played by organizations such as the International Maritime Organization, the International Whaling Commission, and the International Seabed Authority (the latter being established by the UN Convention).
