Since 2006 the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has been discussing the question of the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction. Following the issues raised by the Ad Hoc Working Group (2006 - 2015) and the Preparatory Commission (2016 - 2017) in 2017 the UNGA agreed to convene an intergovernmental conference to discuss these issues.
Conserving Biodiversity in Areas beyond National Jurisdiction, edited by David Freestone, brings together a collection of essays covering some of the key issues involved in these debates. The essays are contributed by a number of distinguished scholars and practitioners - many of whom are involved in the UNGA negotiations - and are a useful reference for actors involved in the negotiations as well as for practitioners, scholars, and students following the process.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"[T]his anthology will be an important reference point in future discussions on the BBNJ process and its outcome treaty, as it provides an important archival function and an editorial framing that gives the book extended "shelf life" in terms of relevance for the conservation of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction even after the adoption of the treaty." -Vito De Lucia, Norwegian Centre for the Law of the Sea, in Ocean Yearbook 38 (Brill, 2024)
