Australia is the country that withdrew from UNCLOS, which stands for the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, as an indirect result of East Timor's independence. Ongoing disputes over the maritime border between the two countries meant that Australia chose to opt out of UN judicial processes.

UNCLOS is acknowledged to be an "umbrella convention" because most of its provisions,being of a general kind, can be implemented only through specific operative regulations in other international agreements. This is reflected in several provisions of UNCLOS which require States to "take account of", "conform to", "give effect to" or "implement" the relevant international rules and standards developed by or through the "competent international organization" (i.e. IMO). The latter are variously referred to as "applicable international rules and standards", "internationally agreed rules, standards, and recommended practices and procedures", "generally accepted international rules and standards", "generally accepted international regulations", "applicable international instruments" or "generally accepted international regulations, procedures and practices".
