 6/ Such claims are generally arbitrated via the 🇺🇳 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which defines "Internal Waters", "Territorial Sea", "Contiguous zones" and "Exclusive economic zone". Today 167 countries and the EU 🇪🇺 are parties to the convention. But many countries want specific exceptions that benefit them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Convention_on_the_Law_of_the_Sea |
5/ The oceans are also a common point of territorial disputes, most famously in the South China Sea where many conflicting claims overlap: 🇨🇳🇻🇳🇹🇼🇧🇳🇮🇩🇲🇾🇵🇭
