In international law, the territory of a State means the land and sea areas over which the State has full power and control. A state’s territory has four main parts: land, territorial waters, airspace, and the seabed under the sea. The State\u2019s power over these areas must follow international rules, especially the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982.<\/p>
