The “bible” for operations over the high seas is ICAO Document 4444, Section 15, which delineates general oceanic contingency procedures.

(They are not presented gratis on the ICAO website as FARs are on the FAA website and must be purchased. However, the full set is included in a Jeppesen JeppView subscription.)
