First the sources of international law of the sea are discussed. Subsequently the different maritime zones, all possessing a distinct legal regime, are analyzed in turn, namely: the territorial sea, the contiguous zone, the exclusive economic zone, the continental shelf, the Area, and the high seas. Also the specific regime applicable to straits used for international navigation, bays and archipelagic states is focused upon. Special attention is finally also devoted to the articles of the above-mentioned convention on the settlement of disputes, because this was the first multilateral agreement which incorporated such a detailed procedure for the peaceful settlement of international disputes
