Settlement of Disputes arising from the UN convention of the Sea (UNCLOS). Part XV of the 1982 Convention on the Law of Sea requires States to settle peacefully any dispute concerning the Convention. Failing a bilateral settlement, art 286 provides that any dispute shall be submitted for compulsory settlement to one of the tribunals having jurisdiction. These include the International Tribunal for the Law of Sea (ITLOS), the International Court of Justice , and arbitral or special arbitral tribunals constituted under UNCLOS.
