Its scope is vast: it covers all ocean space, with all its uses, including navigation and overflight; all uses of all its resources, living and non-living, on the high seas, on the ocean floor and beneath, on the continental shelf and in the territorial seas; the protection of the marine environment; and basic law and order.... The Convention is widely recognised by the international community as the legal framework within which all activities in the oceans and the seas must be carried out." ("25th Anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea," Oct. 17, 2007, posted at http://www.un.org/Depts/los/convention_agreements/convention_25years/unclos25years_info.pdf ) - Larry Greenley Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:39:01 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/freedom-campaign/5372-the-constitution-nixes-obamas-health-care-reform-plan#comment-2298 You say: "...the Law of the Sea Treaty which would give the United Nations control over everything that happens on, under, and over the earth’s oceans and seas...." I hesitate to call people "liars," when they might be merely stupid; this statement is demonstrably false. The LOS Treaty gives the UN NO power, let alone those hysterically described in this article. The LOS Treaty gives NO international organization powers even remotely resembling those described here. I defy anyone on this site to provide a reference to the Treaty text supporting the above-quoted statement, and I'd be happy to make a side bet. - Robert McManus Mon, 28 Sep 2009 05:06:23 +0100
