You might want to check your link. It’s still the Law of the Sea Treaty, or UNCLOS, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

And tweaks don’t make it one bit more palatable.

This treaty gives unelected global bureaucrats taxing authority for the first time, and control over 7/10s of the earths surface, and the resources that go with that.

Reagan was able to rein in the UN because he could withhold the U.S. funds that kept it afloat.

Making them financially self-sustaining seems to me to be one of the absolute worst ideas I’ve ever heard of.

I do I have and the author is wrong in their reference.

The USA can adopt with multiple exceptions and rejections.

As I have said, the USA already acts under the terms of the revised treaty.
