Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This Special Issue, based on an international conference commemorating 40 years of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC), Copenhagen, March 2023, examines emerging issues of resilience of the Convention. More than 40 years have passed since the adoption of the LOSC. Currently, the LOSC faces many challenges that were unforeseen at the time of its adoption in 1982. An essential question thus arises as to whether and how it is possible to address these unforeseen issues under the LOSC.
Here, resilience of the LOSC must be envisaged. The six articles in this Special Issue provide an insight into the resilience of the LOSC, examining some cutting-edge matters the LOSC faces today.
