State practice on the Internet


 

Access to databases

03 November 2005

The Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (DOALOS), Office of Legal Affairs, United Nations Secretariat, has prepared the present web site in order to provide comprehensive information on the status of State practice. The site contains the national legislation of coastal States and treaties dealing with the delimitation of maritime boundaries, as made available throughout the years to the United Nations. Whenever possible, the texts are accompanied by illustrative maps. In addition, the site contains other reference material, such as tables indicating the status of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, summary of national claims to maritime jurisdiction, etc.

National legislation, treaties on the delimitation of maritime boundaries and other relevant information contained in this Internet publication were obtained from reliable sources with a view to ensuring the most accurate representation of the current status. Most of the information has already been published in the Law of the Sea Bulletin, a periodic publication of the Division or in other Law of the Sea publications issued to date. Texts of numerous maritime boundary delimitation treaties have been published in the United Nations Treaty Series, a United Nations publication. However, the site may not always reflect the latest developments, especially those which have not been brought to the attention of the Division. To report any new developments or inaccuracies regarding the published information and/or maritime claims, please contact the Division, DC2-0460, United Nations, New York, NY 10017, or send an e-mail to the Division.
