Exploitation of the sea-bed
-
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) was concluded on Dec. 1992 at Montego Bay, Jamaica. The UNCLOS is a consensus where ocean resources shall be used for mankind's benefit. It is based on the assumption that the free market system benefits only capitalists. A question has been raised on which law would determine the conditions of exploitation of the resources of the deep sea-bed. The deep-sea bed mining provisions appear to be irrelevant. The rejection of the UNCLOS seems to be a wiser recommendation.

Theories of coercion exist across multiple disciplines to explicate the ability of one actor, the coercer, to diminish the free will of another, the coercee, in the absence of overt physical force. A valid claim of coercion places legal blame on the coercer or relinquishes the coercee from legal responsibility for a coerced act or omission. Defining the point at which coercion occurs, however, is the conceptually more difficult task. Recently, coercion has emerged as a significant source of analytic concern in a developing area of the law-contemporary involuntary labor or human trafficking. It is in this setting where coercion is explicitly codified as a fundamental legal element in human-trafficking crimes.
