Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea: A Commentary by Edited by Alexander Proelß
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) entered into force in 1994 and has since been ratified by about 160 states including all the Member States of the EU and the EU itself. This Treaty the most comprehensive ever concluded is often referred to as ‘the constitution for the seas’. This Commentary focuses particularly on the interaction between UNCLOS and the European legal order for example in the field of the prevention or the reduction of environmental pollution and the fair distribution of natural resources.
