چکیده انگلیسی

The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (hereafter “UNCLOS”) is one of the most significant legal instruments of modern times, though the United States (US) has yet to join the 167 nations that have signed the document. Until the twentieth century, freedom of the seas led to inequity among nations, violence, and environmental disasters. UNCLOS provides a peaceful legal structure to resolve border disputes and enforce anti-pollution regulations while maintaining freedom of navigation, safety at sea, and marine scientific research efforts. However, the legitimacy of UNCLOS continues to deteriorate as China acts unilaterally while its global economic reach expands. Additionally, the US cannot participate in international agreements to access ocean resources in the deep seabed or claim portions of the Arctic due to non-accession to UNCLOS. Such accession would protect global security as the balance of power otherwise becomes increasingly unstable. The US must also accede to ensure economic development for itself as well as the preservation of coastal resources upon which many nations rely. In conclusion, US non-accession will risk global security, economic development, and the US position of strength.
