In recent years, the literature on the law of the sea has been so prolific that it is almost impossible to try to know everything that has been written on the subject. It is striking, however, that the development of the institutional aspects of the new law of the sea, which introduces numerous and profound changes in the existing order, has not attracted the interest of the authors. We are on the threshold of a revolutionary change in the history of the international organization. Some of the institutional aspects of the new legal order of the sea will undoubtedly have great repercussions on the future evolution of the organization of the international community. This study examines some of these aspects as reflected in the text of the recently adopted Convention on the Law of the Sea.
