What exactly is it?

Often described as the “𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴,” the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea defines the global framework governing all activities at sea.

From navigation rights to the duty to assist those in distress, UNCLOS remains at the heart of maritime governance and humanitarian action at sea.

At FHAS, we aim to make key international frameworks more accessible to those working at sea and around it. This is the first of a few short explainers we’ll share over time.
