| Abstract: | While the US is not a signatory to the 2001 UNESCO Convention, much progress has been made by US agencies to implement its
Rules and principles. The US signed an Agreement on Titanic with Rules that are nearly identical to the UNESCO Convention. US agencies have also expressed support for the Rules and
their implementation into their programs. This paper identifies these positive actions as well as the two primary concerns
that have prevented the US from signing the Convention to date: (1) “creeping coastal State jurisdiction” and (2) treatment
of sunken state vessels. |
