In early 2011, the Seabed Disputes Chamber of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea made its first case of admissibility since its inception. The case arose in the context of the rise of exploration and development activities in the international seabed and is an advisory to the responsibility regime in sponsoring States. The Seabed Disputes Chamber replied to several questions concerning the legal responsibilities and obligations of the sponsoring State, the liability of the sponsoring States, and the compliance measures of the sponsoring States. The consultation received international acclaim, and the case will also play an important role in promoting the development of the law of the sea and regional development activities.
