USA: Alaskan Legislature Joint Resolution on UNCLOS

The Alaska Legislature sent a resolution on April 6 to the US Congress urging it to sign UNCLOS and thus protect the nation's rights in the Arctic and be a part of the governing body for world ocean policy.

House Joint Resolution 19 passed the Alaska Senate by a vote of 15-2 and was sent to U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Chair John Kerry, SCFR Ranking Republican Richard Lugar, Alaska's congressional delegation, and all other members of the U.S. Senate.
