Since becoming a signatory to UNCLOS 1982, Vietnam has remained a responsible member and has made significant efforts to endorse and implement its provisions, according to an article posted on Fulcrum.sg, a website of Singapore.<\/p>\n

According to the article, when the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) was open for signature on December 10, 1982, Vietnam was among the\u00a0first 117 countries\u00a0to sign the Convention.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Vietnam has\u00a0called upon\u00a0other states in Southeast Asia to respect and comply with\u00a0UNCLOS<\/strong><\/a>. In particular, during its chairmanship of ASEAN in 2020, Vietnam repeatedly stressed the\u00a0relevance of UNCLOS\u00a0in maintaining regional peace and resolving\u00a0maritime disputes<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most recently, together\u00a0with Germany, Vietnam initiated the establishment of the\u00a0UNCLOS Group of Friends<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to accelerate cooperation between like-minded countries on common maritime goals.<\/p>\n

Mentioning the role of UNCLOS 1982, the article said known as the \u201cConstitution of\/for the oceans\u201d, the Convention sets out a legal framework for regulating most sea-related activities and provides a platform for international cooperation on maritime-related issues. Furthermore, it stipulates binding mechanisms for settling disputes at sea.<\/p>\n

UNCLOS standardises claims over maritime entitlements and\u00a0sovereign rights<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0of its signatories including Vietnam. Before UNCLOS, especially in the first half of the twentieth century, there were\u00a0chaotic situations\u00a0where countries argued over their maritime boundaries, leading to disputes. The adoption of UNCLOS has helped to reduce these kinds of disputes, as the Convention became a legal basis for the demarcation of overlapping territories.<\/p>\n

The Convention has provided a framework for member states, including Vietnam, to cooperate with other states on various issues like crimes at sea, namely piracy and armed robbery against ships, protecting the environment, conducting scientific research, and managing resources.<\/p>\n

The importance of UNCLOS to Vietnam has been proven over the past 40 years, especially in terms of legitimising the country\u2019s maritime claims, enhancing its domestic law and management system, accelerating cooperation with other states, and settling maritime disputes.\/.<\/p><\/div>\n
