This article discusses the implications of U.S. accession to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) for the future development of Sino-American relations in the areas of ocean law and politics. The declarations and understandings contained in the Senate Resolution of Advice and Consent to U.S. Accession to the UNCLOS are examined in detail in the context of previous maritime conflicts between the United States and China.
In October 2003, The United States Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a set of hearings to examine the merits of domestic "ratification" of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. On March 11, 2004, the committee favorably reported the treaty to the full Senate with a resolution of advice and consent to be voted upon, a significant step in movement toward U.S. accession to the Convention. This contribution examines the ratification/accession effort in the context of recent U.S. history. In light of the United States's decade-long refrain from accession, the question "why now?" is posited. The answer may lie in the global commercial, political, defense, and strategic reasons approaching a critical mass necessary to overcome longstanding objections. Finally, regardless of the result of a Senate vote, a series of "what's next?" questions will arise.
How do treaties evolve? How in particular do we ensure the [durability over time] of a globalconvention, intended to elaborate [a new and comprehensive regime for the law of the sea] ?
