Bangladesh Centre for Ocean Law and Policy (BCOLP)
Today, 10 December 2022, marks the 40th Anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This groundbreaking treaty was adopted at Montego Bay, Jamaica, on 10 December 1982. Due to its importance and impact, the instrument has become known as the constitution for the ocean. BCOLP strongly supports the rule of law in the sea and the peaceful settlement of maritime disputes, two key objectives of the treaty.
On #WorldFisheriesDay 2022, we call for ensuring human and labour rights for all fishers around the globe.
