The Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea
of the Office of Legal Affairs of the United Nations
makes every effort to provide the most up-to-date
information available to it at this website.
However, it
should be understood that information contained
therein may not necessarily reflect all
information made available to the Division,
although it is revised and updated continuously.
This material is for information purposes only,
and the United Nations assumes no liability
whatsoever with regard to the accuracy of the
data. Regarding the content of any part of this
collection, States and other users are invited to
bring to the attention of the Division any
omissions or new developments (DOALOS Email;

The
designations employed and the presentation of the
material on this site do not imply the expression of
any opinion whatsoever on the part of the
Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the
legal status of any country, territory, city or area
or of its authorities, or concerning the
delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.
Publication on this site of information concerning
developments relating to the law of the sea
emanating from actions and decisions taken by States
does not imply recognition by the United Nations of
the validity of the actions and decisions in
question. Registration under Article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations of an instrument, such as a maritime boundary delimitation agreement, submitted by a Member State does not imply a judgement by the Secretariat on the nature of the instrument, the status of a party, or any similar question. It is the understanding of the Secretariat that its action does not confer on the instrument the status of a treaty or an international agreement if it does not already have that status and does not confer on a party a status which it would not otherwise have. |
