This Law of the Sea Convention defines the rights and responsibilities of states in
the use of the world's oceans and establishes guidelines for business,
environment, and marine resource management. Convention concluded in 1982,
superseding the 1958 international treaty on the sea.
Terms in the law of the sea
1. Convention on the high seas : Laut Lepas
2. Convention on continental shelf : Landas
Kontinen
3. Archipelagic Waters : Perairan Pedalaman
4. The Territorial Sea : Laut Wilayah
5. The Contiguous Zone : Zona Tambahan

chapter 56 (1) states that the rights of the coastal state in the EEZ are:

and biological, including the seabed area and exploration underground from
the sea.
2. Included in this are activities to construct artificial islands, installations
or other structures; scientific research and marine environmental protection
measures.
The Chapter of UNCLOS regulates this matter
which in principle assumes that:
1. The resources of the ocean floor are the common
property of mankind
2. The status of the seabed does not affect the status of the
high seas
3. Exploitation of the seabed must be carried out in
accordance with the provisions stipulated in the
Convention Several requirements are set for countries
or multinational companies that will exploit the seabed
area, including the obligation to announce work plans,
contracts carried out, expected developments, transfer
of technology to all countries and a definite and clear
contract period. These things have made many
developed countries reluctant to ratify the 1982
convention.
