The Commander's Handbook on the Law of Naval Operations

"The United States will not, however, acquiesce in unilateral acts of other States designed to restrict the rights and freedoms of the international community in navigation and overflight and other related high seas uses." --President Reagan's Oceans Policy Statement on the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1983)

In August 2017, The Commander's Handbook on the Law of Naval Operations--Manual Manual NWP 1-14M/MCTP 11-10B/COMDTPUB P5800.7A, was released by the US Navy, the US Marine Corps, and the Coast Guard. It sets out those fundamental principles of international and domestic law that govern US naval operations at sea.
