The author describes issues related to resolving disputes in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982. This system includes the following elements: the principles of the obligatory use of peaceful measures to resolve disputes and the principle of the freedom of the choice of peaceful measures by the parties. The freedom to choose resolution measures can be limited if previously applied measures, especially diplomatic ones, failed. The scale of these measures is described in the 1982 convention and range from the simplest to more complex measures. Thus, these measures range from those described in bilateral, regional, or common agreements, those agreed upon by diplomatic means to conciliation through arbitration and the courts. The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea in Hamburg plays a key role in resolving international maritime disputes. However, the author states that the system for resolving such disputes is wide ranging and rather complicated. Disputes worthy o f discussion are those related to the delimitation of sea areas. Issues concerned with sea area delimitation and division are of key importance in the UN convention of 1982. The United Nations Convention of 1982 outlines a rather coherent system for resolving international maritime law disputes. Bilateral and regional were combined with common measures, while public and private law resolution measures were combined. Thanks to the convention, countries have a wide choice of resolution forums for disputes arising from the application of the convention. This convention still plays an insufficient role in the creation of peaceful measures for resolving disputes in accordance with the norms outlined in the convention. It is expected that the new International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea will facilitate this thanks to its procedures and the wider jurisdiction in maritime cases than is provided by the International Court of Justice. The participation o f the UN Secretaiy General and other organizations has been widened in the structure of this system. Complex principles for separating the jurisdiction of tribunals, courts, and other appropriate organizations in resolving maritime disputes have come into force.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Selected legal aspects of international maritime}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/114259/PDF-MASTER/document%20-%202019-10-05T115515.247.pdf}, }
