Calling upon the Senate to give its advice and consent to the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

This resolution urges the Senate to approve the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea by giving formal advice and consent to ratification. It is a statement pushing the Senate to move the United States toward joining that treaty.

If adopted, it would not itself make the treaty law. It asks the Senate to take the next step so the treaty could be ratified.

• What it does: Calls on the Senate to approve the ocean law treaty (UNCLOS).
• What it doesn’t do: It doesn’t change U.S. law by itself; it’s a formal push for Senate action.
