The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which was concluded on December 10, 1982, guaranteed cooperation between states in all matters related to the seas.

Protecting and preserving the marine environment and preserving its living resources, taking into account the sovereignty of all States, and whereas States Parties bear in mind that achieving these goals will contribute to achieving a just and equitable international economic system that takes into account the interests and needs of all humanity, in particular the interests and needs of developing States, whether coastal or landlocked, When any maritime disputes arise between the states party to the Convention, these states may resort to peaceful means of settling disputes or resort to the courts stipulated in the Convention to resolve maritime disputes.
The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea plays a prominent role in settling international maritime disputes.
