14 points freedom of the seas?

The concept of "freedom of the seas" refers to the principle that international waters are open to all nations for navigation, trade, and fishing, free from undue restrictions. This principle is rooted in customary international law and has been codified in treaties such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). It aims to promote peaceful maritime cooperation and ensure that no single nation can claim sovereignty over vast ocean areas. The 14 points, proposed by President Woodrow Wilson after World War I, included this principle as part of a broader vision for global peace and self-determination.
