If the Senate were to ratify it, LOST would do the following:

Threaten American sovereignty by subjecting our governmental, military, and business operations to mandatory dispute resolution, to be decided by bodies that have a reputation for being Anti-American. These "disputes" will be decided in the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. Compromise American security by requiring the transfer of sensitive, militarily useful technologies to other nations and international organizations hostile to American interests. Impose U.S. compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, the UN environmentalism treaty. Establish an international tax, which would take money out of the American business revenue stream for the ISA's use and could be easily transferred to socialist, anti-American nations, which constitute the majority of the nations who have already ratified LOST. Grant the U.S. only one vote, despite the fact that the vast majority of funding will come from American taxpayers.
