It is just about time for the world to review the implementation and the provision of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea as new challenges and threats to maritime security have arisen four decades since its passing, Department of Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo said.

It should not be done to become “merely a reflection of universally recognized principles,” he said, noting that “to do the latter is a disservice to the crafters of this landmark document.”
