ARCHIPELAGIC SEA LANES PASSAGE — the right of ships and aircraft to navigate or overfly archipelagic waters and adjacent territorial seas for continuous, expeditious, and unobstructed transit. Established under the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, it requires vessels to follow designated lanes without threatening the sovereignty of the archipelagic state.
