Noong Disyembre 10, 1982, pinagtibay ng Pilipinas ang Law of the Sea Treaty. Ang probisyon ng Archipelagic Doctrine, kung saan nakabatay ang mga pangunahing seksyon ng UNCLOS, ay isang mahalagang salik sa lagda nito. Si dating senador Arturo Tolentino, na nanguna sa delegasyon ng Pilipinas sa kumperensya ng UNCLOS, ay iminungkahi din ang Archipelagic Doctrine. Kinumpirma ng Batasang Pambansa ang pagpirma ng Pilipinas sa Law of the Sea Treaty noong Pebrero 27, 1984.
Ang ikatlong United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III) ay nagsasaad din ng mga sumusunod:
- Ang mga Archipelagic na tubig ay itinuturing na bahagi ng teritoryo ng Pilipinas. Ang mga tubig sa loob ng archipelagic baselines na tinutukoy alinsunod sa UNCLOS Article 47 ay kilala bilang Archipelagic waters.
- Ang teritoryal na tubig ng isang bansa ay tinukoy bilang 12 nautical miles mula sa mga baseline nito; at
- pagtatakda ng 200 nautical miles na lawak ng karagatan mula sa mga baseline para sa exclusive economic zone (EEZ), na isang bahagi ng baybaying dagat at seabed na may katumbas na distansya mula sa baybayin ng dagat ng isang bansa kung saan ang isang bansa ay may eksklusibong karapatan na makisali sa ekonomiya. Mga aktibidad tulad ng pangingisda at pagbabarena ng langis.
