Re: What Is the Law of the Sea?

The law of the sea is one of the oldest disciplines in international law. However, in the twentieth century in particular the sea has become an even more significant legal issue. The League of Nations Conference for the Codification of International Law (1930, The Hague) dealt with the breadth of the territorial sea, the contiguous zone, the high seas, the continental shelf, fishing and the conservation of living resources.

Law of the Sea, branch of international law concerned with public order at sea. Much of this law is codified in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, signed Dec. 10, 1982. The convention, described as a “constitution for the oceans,” represents an attempt to codify international law regarding territorial waters, sea-lanes, and ocean resources. It came into force in 1994 after it had been ratified by the requisite 60 countries; by the early 21st century the convention had been ratified by more than 150 countries.

United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea AKA the constitution of the sea only protects states from other states.

Pleaure craft aren't even mentioned in it. Only commercal vessels, warships and Goverment vessels. Flying under the flag of a country doesn't give YOU any protection.

Unflagged stateless vessel and flaged vessels other than commercal/warships enjoy the SAME PROTECTIONS. thou vessels with nationality are despised on sight a flaged non-commerial vessel that managed to earn the despise of a state is in just as much trouble.

The flag of Rainbow Warrior didn't do anything. and France was only punishment for violating New Zealand's terrirtory while attacking the Rainbow Warrior.

Here is the literal translation possible. You have helped me to understand that "sea" is part of "sea community" and should not be divided into translation. And this detail escaped me.
