Abstract
A good indicator of how a country interprets and implements provisions of the law of the sea is its state practice. Worldwide state practice generally reflects an acceptance of the UN Law of the Sea (LOS) Convention with respect to the types of jurisdiction that were addressed in Committee II of the Third UN Conference on the Law of the Sea—baselines, territorial sea, exclusive economic zone, and the continental shelf. In each of these categories, however, there are claims that exceed the provisions of the LOS Convention. This paper identifies the prevalent trends of maritime claims over the past several decades and indicates the current state of affairs for the major types of claims. Using the LOS Convention as a basis for comparison, excessive maritime claims are analyzed.Keywords
