On the other hand, international waters are governed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and they are not under the jurisdiction of any nation. All states have to right to lay cables/pipelines, to fish, to fly over the water, etc..

The local government and non-profit groups have attempted to revive Rogan painting by training young artists and setting up online shops for local artisans.
