This is the seventh and final volume of the most authoritative reference
on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which
was negotiated at the Third UN Conference of the Law of the Sea from
1973-1982. Volume VII provides the original text of the 1982 convention
as fully integrated with the provisions of the 1994 Agreement on the
Implementation of Part XI, presenting the consolidated convention in its
final form. It also includes an extensive subject index to Volumes I
through VI of the series, consolidated tables of cases and treaties, in
addition to the one fisheries agreement specifically implementing the
Convention. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982: A
Commentary is a collection of commentaries based almost entirely on the
formal and informal documentation the Convention. Each volume is written
with the personal knowledge of the editors, many of whom were principal
negotiators or UN personnel who participated in the conference.
