COLOMBIA Y LA CONVENCIÓN DE NACIONES UNIDAS SOBRE EL DERECHO DEL MAR: ANÁLISIS JURÍDICO FRENTE AL DILEMA DE LA RATIFICACIÓN

Abstract

This article addresses the legal issues arising out of the potential ratification of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea by Colombia. The authors posit that the majority of the concerns previously deterring Colombia from ratification have progressively disappeared. Yet, they transitorily discourage ratification due to Colombia's current claim of historic rights in the San Andrés Archipelago.
