Hi friends!
Did you know that in 1982 the UN’s groundbreaking work in adopting the Law of the Sea Convention?
The convention has resolved several important issues related to ocean usage and sovereignty, such as:
-Established freedom-of-navigation rights
-Set territorial sea boundaries 12 miles offshore
-Set exclusive economic zones up to 200 miles offshore
-Set rules for extending continental shelf rights up to 350 miles offshore
-Created the International Seabed Authority
-Created other conflict-resolution mechanisms (e.g., the -UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf)
Goal #14 Life below water 🐠
Please stay tuned for next week we have a new project coming up to help the ocean.

Hi Community!

Happy Human Rights day!

Human rights is celebrated across the world on December 10th every year which is the day when the United Nations assembly adopted.
"Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home -- so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. [...] Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world."
-Eleanor Roosevelt
