Opinio Juris notes that Palin seems primarily concerned about losing access to mineral resources by failing to ratify.

Opinio Juris also goes on to talk about John McCain’s disapproval of UNCLOS.

Swing by and give it a read.

I’m currently researching Barack Obama and Joe Biden’s opinions on the matter.
