from what I’m reading online the US Senate has never ratified the “United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea” so we should not be bound by it?!!?
We signed (executive branch) but never ratified?
Also, a treaty can be renounced if we had the balls to do so...... of course a Democrat admin. would be most unlikely to do so, but for serious enough mineral and oil/gas prospects it could become a good campaign issue to throw them out, or am I dreaming?
also, from what I”m seeing that UN convention does not prohibit ocean floor mining beyond a country’s territorial limits but has an idiotic provision that seems to require 1/2 (an equal mining plot to the one being mined) going to the frickin’ UN agency in charge, along with “technology transfers” over a 10-20 year period, i.e., anyone mining on the ocean floor beyond a nation’s territorial limit has to give up 1/2 their claim and then all of their technology to a UN agency..... great, what world socialist bozos come up with this crap?
