The UN Law of the Sea Convention has brought at the same time stability and innovation in the Law of the Sea, the oldest branch of international law. Tullio Treves, a negotiator of the Convention, now a Judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, illustrates the Convention's contribution to the development of international law in the perspective of the judicial settlement of disputes.
