Towards a new international instrument on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in ABNJ
Why a new agreement? 
• Significant gaps in legal framework for high seas 
– Legal gaps vs. implementation gaps 
• Rapid development/intensification of activities 
• Cumulative impacts
Timeline 
• 2006 – Formation of the BBNJ Working Group 
• 2011 – Agreement of the ‘Package Deal’ 
• 2012 – Rio+20 commitment 
• 2014 (April & June) – BBNJ meetings 
• 2015 
• Final BBNJ meeting - January 
• UNGA – August/September
The 2011 ‘Package Deal’ 
1. Marine genetic resources, including questions on 
the sharing of benefits 
2. Measures such as area-based management tools, 
including marine protected areas 
3. Environmental impact assessments 
4. Capacity-building and the transfer of marine 
technology.
BBNJ meeting June 2014 
• A strong ‘coalition of the willing’ developing 
• Involvement of developing states 
• Pacific nations 
• CARICOM 
• African Union 
• Inclusion of civil society 
• But, a number of States impeding consensus 
• Australia’s role?
(Limited) points of agreement 
• Maintain Rio+20 deadline 
• Primacy of UNCLOS 
• Package Deal 
• Suspension of the ‘common heritage’ vs freedom 
debate 
• Respect the mandates of existing organisations
Key issues 
• Legal gaps vs. implementation gaps/broader vision 
• Respect the mandates of existing organisations - 
what does this mean in practice? 
• Fisheries 
• International vs. Regional 
• Institutional structure
Interim regional approaches 
• Plethora of existing regional organisations 
• North Atlantic: OSPAR/NEAFC 
• Antarctic: ATS/CCAMLR 
• Sargasso Sea Commission
Next steps 
• BBNJ chairs to write a ‘Convergence Report’ 
• States to make further submissions 
• BBNJ meeting in January 
• Expected to recommend to UNGA that 
negotiations be opened 
• Consensus? 
• Negotiations likely to commence in 2016 
• A continued role for Australia
