Abstract

The UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage offers a much needed international legal framework for the protection of shipwrecks and other cultural remains located in international waters. However, at the time of its adoption in 2001, it failed to achieve the support of a powerful bloc of maritime States. While these States remain outside the regime, it cannot be truly effective. This article reflects on the concerns of these States and concludes that changing circumstances since 2001 may mean that the time is now ripe for a re-evaluation of their original position.
