Global agreement to protect the oceans fixed to be effective after 60th perception

Global agreement to protect the oceans fixed to be effective after 60th perception

The first treaty of protecting the maritime variety in international water will be applicable after Morocco became the 60th nation to confirm the agreement earlier next year.

The high sea treaty is the first legal framework for the purpose of protecting marine biodiversity in international water – which is beyond the jurisdiction of any one country. International waters are responsible for about two-thirds of the ocean and about half of the surface of the Earth, and are unsafe for dangers, including over-culture change and deep seas mining.

Johan Burgenus, senior vice-president of the oceans at the World Wildlife Fund, said, “High sea is the largest crime site in the world-they are unchanged, unrestricted and a regulator legal framework is absolutely necessary.”

Nevertheless, the strength of the treaty is uncertain, as some of the world’s largest players – America, China, Russia and Japan – have not yet been confirmed. The US and China have signed, indicated by the intention of aligning with the purpose of the treaty without legal obligations, while Japan and Russia have been active in initial dialogue.

Canada is Signed the treaty But this has not been confirmed yet.

The perception triggers 120-day vomiting count for the treaty to be effective. But too much work explains how it will be implemented, financed and implemented.

“You need large boats, more fuel, more training and a separate regulatory system,” said Bergons. “The treaty is fundamental – now hard work begins.”

how it works

High sea is home to an array of marine life and is important in regulating the Earth’s climate – they absorb heat and carbon dioxide, and we produce half -breathing oxygen. This treaty is known as 30×30 targets – by 2030, known as an international pledge to protect the planet’s land and 30 percent of the ocean.

The treaty creates a legal process for countries to establish marinely protected areas in water, including rules of potential disastrous activities such as deep sea mining and geo -engineering schemes. It also establishes a framework for technology-sharing, money mechanisms and scientific cooperation between countries.

Seriously, decisions under the treaty will be made multilaterally, known as parties’ conferences, rather than working alone by individual countries.

Within a year of the treaty of the treaty, country will be found to take decisions about implementation, financing and inspection, and only those countries that confirm earlier will have voting rights.

Concern on enforcement

Some experts have warned that the effect of the treaty can be blunt if the most powerful players of the high sea live outside it.

“If major fishing nations such as China, Russia and Japan are not included, they can weaken the protected areas,” said the International Union for Nature of Nature (IUCN) Commission with a high ocean specialist Guillermo Crespo.

“It will be interesting to see how the implementation of the treaty will work without those who have historically used the most high sea resources.”

The treaty does not form a punitive enforcement body in itself. Instead, it depends largely on individual countries to regulate its own ships and companies.

If a German flag flying ship violates the rules, for example, it is the responsibility of working in Germany, then the founder of the Global Ocean Trust and a consultant to the Ocean rule said Torreston Thiele and Blue finance,

This universal objective makes it necessary, he said. “If no one has signed up, they will argue that they are not bound.”

Anric Sala, the founder of the National Geographic Prostin Cizer Marine Reserve Project, warned that some nations may now indicate the treaty as due to delay or survival in their own water conservation efforts.

“There are countries that are using the process to justify inactivity at home,” he said.

Marine ecosystems are at risk

Lisa Spear, director of the International Onsions Program of the Natural Resources Defense Council, said that failing to protect the high seas can mean any individual nation’s water.

“Marine life does not respect political boundaries. So the fish migrates throughout the sea,” said Spear. “Along with turtles, with a whole host of cabard and other marine life.

“And so what happens in the high sea, can actually affect the health and flexibility of the ocean within the national jurisdiction within our coastal water.”

The Ocean Exploration Pioneer Sylvia Earl welcomed the recommendation, but urged the leaders not to see it as a finish line.

“This path is the station – not the end point,” he said.

“If we currently continue to take from the sea on that scale, and use the ocean as a dump site as we are currently, then we are putting fish and whales and krills in Antarctica and high seas in Antarctica, but most, we are putting ourselves at risk.”

For small island countries such as Vanuatu, the treaty is a major step towards inclusion in decisions that have been beyond their reach for a long time.

“Everything that affects the ocean affects us,” said Vanuatu minister Ralph Regenwanu for climate change.
