To the Deep End or Out of Their Depth?

BMGN: Low Countries Historical Review, 2023
At the negotiations of the Third United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1973-1982), industrialised states with the capacity to exploit the deep seabed had a fundamentally different vision of a regime regulating deep-sea mining than most ...
