Which International Convention applies to territorial waters and Maritime zones of a country ?
Answer: C
The convention is U.N.C.L.O.S.
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1982) defines a country's maritime zones: territorial sea up to 12 nautical miles, contiguous zone up to 24, exclusive economic zone up to 200, and the continental shelf. It also sets rules for navigation, the high seas and the settlement of disputes. India ratified it in 1995.
The Kyoto Protocol deals with greenhouse gas emissions, MARPOL with pollution from ships, and SLOC means sea lines of communication, a strategic term, not a convention.
