International Law states that the five countries that surround the Arctic Ocean are limited to a 200 nautical mile (370 km, 230 mi) Exclusive Economic Zone around their Arctic coasts. All the area beyond that is under the administration of the International Seabed Authority. A rather toothless Authority, thanks to the USA's non-ratification of the UNCLOS, (United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea).
