A note on the role of african states in committee I of UNCLOS III
Abstract
This study assesses the role the African states played in the formulation of Part XI of the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea. It demonstrates that the clauses dealing with the seabed issues largely incorporated their interests. It is also argued that it was because of the African states’ efforts (among other members of the G‐77) that the industrialized countries acquiesced in the negotiation of a comprehensive LOS Treaty
