International Seabed Authority and ITLOS have
connection to each other, both organizations have been established by UN
Convention on the Law of the Sea.
The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea is an independent judicial
body established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea to
adjudicate disputes arising out of the interpretation and application of the
Convention. The Tribunal is composed of 21 independent members, elected from
among persons enjoying the highest reputation for fairness and integrity and of
recognized competence in the field of the law of the sea. The Tribunal has
jurisdiction over any dispute concerning the interpretation or application of
the Convention, and over all matters specifically provided for in any other
agreement which confers jurisdiction on the Tribunal.
The Convention declares the Area and its resources to be "the common heritage of
mankind", and the International Seabed Authority
administers the resources of the Area.

Among others within the photo galleries
there are two images with reasonable depictions of the flag. The base colour is
tribunal blue (a bit lighter than navy blue I was told). The charges are golden
yellow. Within an ellipse there are scales above four rows of waves. The whole
ensemble is flanked by the usual UN-suborganizations pair of wreaths.
This flag sometimes is also flown outside the building.

This flag is similar to the flag of International
Seabed Authority.

The only difference between ISBA flag and Tribunal flag is the inscription
around the shield, the ITLOS flag has no any inscription.
