Towards a New International Agreement on High Seas Biodiversity
Why? 
• 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 turning point 
• A strong ‘coalition of the willing’ developing 
• Emergence of developing states 
• Pacific nations 
• CARICOM 
• African Union 
• Inclusion of civil society 
• Lots of World Cup banter
The holdouts
(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
Battle Lines 
• Legal gaps vs. broader vision 
• Respect the mandates of existing organisations - 
what does this mean in practice? 
• Fisheries 
• International vs. Regional 
• Institutional structure 
• Basically everything…
While we wait… 
• Plethora of existing regional organisations 
• North Atlantic: OSPAR/NEAFC 
• Antarctic: ATS/CCAMLR 
• Sargasso Sea Commission
What’s next? 
• BBNJ chairs to write a ‘Convergence Report’ 
• States to make further submissions 
• Working Group in January 
• Expected to recommend to UNGA that 
negotiations be opened 
• And for the rest of us: a long hard think…
