12 Some commentators have argued that because Canada is not yet a party to LOSC, this basis of authority if this provision is questionable (see Huebert, supra note 5 at 7.) and express doubt about assertions of other commentators that Article 234, like much of the LOSC, has now achieved the status of customary international law owing to the almost universal adherence to its provisions.
