National Jurisdiction, better known by its acronym\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/bbnj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBNJ<\/a>, is the culmination of UN-facilitated talks that began in 2004.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Already being referred to as the \u2018High Seas Treaty\u2019, the legal framework would place 30 per cent of the world\u2019s oceans into protected areas, put more money into marine conservation, and covers access to and use of marine genetic resources.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Through his Spokesperson, Mr. Guterres said the treaty is crucial for addressing the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt is also vital for achieving ocean-related goals and targets of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment\/development-agenda\/\">2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development<\/a>, and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/gbf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework<\/a>,\u201d said the statement, referring to the so-called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2022\/12\/1131837\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201830&#215;30<\/a>\u2019 pledge to protect a third of the world&#8217;s biodiversity \u2013 on land and sea \u2013 by 2030 made by a historic UN conference in Montreal this past December.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Noting that the BBNJ decision builds on the legacy of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/depts\/los\/convention_agreements\/convention_overview_convention.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UNCLOS<\/a>), the Secretary-General commended all parties for their ambition, flexibility and perseverance, and saluted Ambassador Rena Lee, of Singapore, for her leadership and dedication.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cLadies and gentlemen,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/media.un.org\/en\/asset\/k1m\/k1mqm0yfig\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the ship has reached the shore<\/a>,\u201d Ms. Lee said last night, announcing the agreement to an extended standing ovation in the meeting room. Delegations will reconvene later to formally adopt the text.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">The statement issued by the UN Spokesperson said the Secretary-General also recognized the critical support of non-governmental organizations, civil society, academic institutions and the scientific community.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cHe looks forward to continuing working with all parties to secure a healthier, more resilient, and more productive ocean, benefiting current and future generations,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UN_PGA\/status\/1632236161316843520\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reacting<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter, Csaba K\u0151r\u00f6si, President of the 77<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0session of the UN General Assembly, also congratulated the delegates and Ms. Lee for reaching consensus on a global legal framework for the high seas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis is a massive success for multilateralism.
