The southern hemisphere is dominated by oceanic influences with 80% of its surface area consisting of ocean space. It hosts abundant marine biodiversity, which is under increasing pressure from activities such as fisheries and shipping as well as multiple sources of marine pollution and climate change impacts. The process initiated by the UN General Assembly Resolution 69/292 to develop the elements of an international legally binding instrument (ILBI) for conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction has the potential to contribute to a more integrated and cross-sectoral system of oceans governance at a global and regional scale. This article examines key features of the existing global and regional ocean governance framework in the southern hemisphere and how the anticipated ILBI might relate to existing ocean governance frameworks.

加强国家管辖范围以外地区海洋生物多样性保护和可持续利用的治理框架:南半球视角

南半球主要受海洋影响,其表面积的 80% 由海洋空间组成。它拥有丰富的海洋生物多样性,受到渔业和航运等活动以及海洋污染和气候变化影响的多种来源的越来越大的压力。联合国大会第 69/292 号决议发起的制定具有法律约束力的国际文书 (ILBI) 要素的进程,以保护和可持续利用国家管辖范围以外区域的海洋生物多样性,有可能促进更加综合和跨全球和区域范围的海洋治理部门系统。
