| Abstract |
Substantive negotiations began in 2019 on an internationally legally binding instrument under the Law of the Sea Convention for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction with two two- week sessions. These negotiations were held pursuant to UN General Assembly resolution A/ 72/ 249 of 24 December 2017. This chapter brings up to date the intergovernmental conference previously described in the author’s chapter in the Center for Ocean Law and Policy’s book on its annual conference in Beijing in mid- 2018, ‘bbnj: Developments since Yogyakarta.’ The chapter describes the two substantive sessions held in 2019: 25 March– 5 April and 19– 30 August 2019. |
