About the Topic:
The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, which was founded by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) in 1996, makes a contribution to the rule of law at sea in two ways: first, by settling disputes and giving advisory opinions; and second, in so doing by clarifying and developing international law. As a dispute settlement body, the ITLOS is unique in terms of comprehensive functions it performs. It not only deals with traditional inter-State disputes but also can settle disputes involving non-State entities. Over the past two decades, the Tribunal has made significant contribution to the rule of law by clarifying and developing international law embodied in the UNCLOS.
