Panetta supports
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, left, accompanied by Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, June 13, 2012.
The current U.S. Defense Secretary, Leon Panetta supports the treaty.
“As the world’s strongest, preeminent maritime power, we are a country that has one of the longest coastlines and one of the largest extended continental shelves in the world," Panetta said. "We have more to gain by approving this convention than almost any other country.”
A spokeswoman for Democratic Senator John Kerry, a treaty proponent, says Kerry still hopes the convention will be ratified, perhaps after the November elections.
