The UN Charter is the foundational document that the UN is built on. UNCLOS is a convention (one that, for what it's worth, the US never ratified). The PCA is a non-UN body that's sometimes used as an arbitration mechanism between two parties to avoid conflict.

Do you have any grasp on international law, or do you just enjoy whataboutism?
