TIL: the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea imposed binding obligations on all governments, whether signatories or not, to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. It is stronger in that respect than the 1992 UN Framework Convention on #ClimateChange.

China Asserts Maritime Ambitions as Global Attention Wanes
China is redefining its maritime boundaries, subtly challenging the UN's Law of the Sea framework by downplaying its significance as the sole authority, instead positioning it as just one of several key players in global ocean governance. This reinterpretation marks a notable shift in China's approach to maritime law.

I hated those two public sex scenes of Kate with Austin, and Callum, because she's a mess, but those were reckless and disrespectful, respectively, and the characters involved are more serious and discreet than the scenes portray.
I love the dynamic of the men having to scramble for relevance, power, and position with women who control those levers.
Imperfect, but a good, complex, interesting, entertaining show.

I caught up on The Diplomat, years after watching season one.
It got better as it went along, and is now one of my all-time favorite political shows.
What tipped me over was The Law of the Sea Treaty.
It's no Codex Alimentarius (jk), but highlighting a nerdy bit of deep inside politics was a great touch.

Iran’s Legal Strategy in Hormuz
Geography remains Iran’s greatest wartime advantage and a key strategic asset in the ongoing 2026 conflict. The country’s rugged terrain, extensive coastline, and strategic depth in the Persian Gulf shape the course of the war, constraining conventional military options while enhancing Iran’s ability to leverage the Strait of

To pass the Strait of Hormuz, there is no avoiding territorial waters of either Iran or Oman. Iran would be within their rights to engage a US (or Israeli) naval asset in their territorial waters.
Closing a strait to civilian traffic of non-combatants is another matter and unlikely to be legal. Dr Mark Chadwick: https://www.ntu.ac.uk/about-us/news/news-articles/2026/03/expert-blog-what-legal-right-does-iran-have-to-close-the-strait-of-hormuz

Gendering the Law of the Sea
Over the past two years, international courts have entered the climate arena with unusual force. Advisory opinions from the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, the International Court of Justice, and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights signal a decisive shift in State obligation against climate change.
Yet somethi
The #ADF can hardly claim "international waters" (a #UNCLOS definition) in the South China Sea at the _very same_ time it encourages US / Israel aggression in the middle east (clearly breaching the UN Charter).
#Australia, we either rely on international law, or you undermine it. There's no middle path.
In local dialect:
If international law is buggered, then we're fucked.

Turning the Tide on Trawls
Bottom trawling, a fishing method that tows heavy, weighted nets and trawl doors along the seabed to catch demersal species, does more than destroy and flatten benthic habitats: by repeatedly resuspending carbon-rich sediments, it accelerates remineralization and weakens the ocean’
