UNGA Resolution 69/292 requires that the development of an international legally binding instrument (ILBI) for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea should not undermine existing relevant legal instruments and frameworks and relevant global, regional and sectoral bodies. The South West Pacific regional oceans governance framework is reviewed, highlighting the importance of dedicated mechanisms for cooperation in the integration of regional institutions and in collective diplomacy for the development of an ILBI. It is argued a sufficiently inclusive description of existing arrangements under an ILBI is needed to not undermine the competence or integration of the regional architecture for oceans’ governance. Shared governance principles between an ILBI and existing regional governance architecture could play an important role in preserving coherence and contribute to ensuring regional standards for conservation of BBNJ are not diminished.

合作、能力和一致性:西南太平洋区域海洋治理在国家管辖范围以外保护和可持续利用生物多样性方面的作用

联合国大会第 69/292 号决议要求根据《联合国海洋法公约》制定一项具有法律约束力的国际文书 (ILBI),以保护和可持续利用国家管辖范围以外地区 (ABNJ) 的生物多样性,不应破坏现有的相关法律文书和框架以及相关的全球、区域和部门机构。对西南太平洋区域海洋治理框架进行了审查,强调了专门的合作机制在区域机构整合和集体外交中的重要性,以发展 ILBI。有人认为,需要对 ILBI 下的现有安排进行充分包容的描述,以免破坏区域海洋治理架构的能力或整合。
