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.
