Abstract
The previous chapter examined the key multilateral instruments of international law relevant to decommissioning, namely the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the London Convention on Dumping. As foreshadowed in that chapter, States across the globe are also party to a number of regional seas conventions and programmes, which impose obligations on the parties to protect and preserve the marine environment, and to promote the sustainable management and use of the marine and coastal environment.
