The International Tribunal, established by the Convention, is one of the dispute-settlement forums to which parties might submit their disputes. It has exclusive jurisdiction in disputes concerning deep seabed mineral resources,
provides advisory opinions when called upon to do so, and may be called upon to prescribe injunctive relief or provisional measures before a case or dispute was to be decided on the merits. Most often, the Tribunal’s injunctive and provisional measures have been directed at cases involving the detention of vessels and their crew. The Tribunal holds its meetings and hears cases at its seat in Hamburg, Germany. It is composed of 21 members (judges) elected to nine-year terms.
We, the US, will have but one vote in any dispute created by unclos. One vote.
Taking the un's past records in supporting us, how do you think they'll vote when a dispute arises?
I don’t know. And Clinton should be jailed for doing this to us.
As long as that one vote consists of 95,000 tons of absolute sincerity, I'm OK with that.
