Sri Lanka Maritime Law Pledge

Sri Lanka joined 33 nations in pledging to protect freedom of navigation and defend world sea routes under international maritime law (UNCLOS). The pledge commits to maintaining open shipping lanes and protecting vital global trade routes.

Sri Lanka's really out here pledging "no fees, no tolls" on sea routes while their own ports charge fees that make international shipping look like a charity operation. 33 nations walked into this room and Sri Lanka said "yes, freedom of navigation!" — the same country that once got creative with their own maritime boundaries. At least they're thinking globally while managing locally... let's call it ambitious.
