high seas

Read a random definition: Treasurer, Lord High

A quick definition of high seas:

High seas are areas of the ocean that are not controlled by any country. They start 200 nautical miles from the coastline. This means that no country can claim ownership or control over these waters. The United Nations has rules about what can and cannot be done on the high seas, such as allowing ships to travel freely and not allowing any country to take control of any part of the high seas.

A more thorough explanation:

High seas refer to the international waters that are not under the jurisdiction of any country. According to the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea, the high seas begin 200 nautical miles from the coastline. This means that no country has the right to claim ownership or control over these waters.

For example, if a ship is sailing in the high seas, it is not subject to the laws of any country. However, there are still rules and regulations that govern conduct on the high seas. These rules are designed to ensure that all ships can navigate freely and safely.

One of the most important rules is the freedom of navigation. This means that all ships have the right to sail through the high seas without interference from any country. Another rule is that no country can claim sovereignty over any part of the high seas. This ensures that the high seas remain open to all countries and are not subject to any one nation's control.
