UNCLOS: 170 Parties

Following the completion of a domestic process on 20 March 2024 resulting in Decreto Consiliare 20/03/2024 n. 61 “Adesione alla Convenzione delle Nazioni Unite sul Diritto del Mare”, San Marino submitted an instrument acceding to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on 19 July 2024, bringing the total number of UNCLOS Parties to the milestone of 170 Parties. Consistent with Article 308(2) of UNCLOS, the Convention shall enter into force for San Marino on 18 August 2024.

Note, consistent with Article 4(1) of the Agreement relating to the Implementation of Part XI of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (1994 Agreement), the instrument of accession to UNCLOS also represents consent to be bound by the 1994 Agreement. San Marino therefore effected its consent to be bound to the 1994 Agreement on 19 July 2024. Consistent with Article 6(2) of the 1994 Agreement, the Agreement shall enter into force for San Marino on 18 August 2024. The 1994 Agreement currently has 153 Parties.
