~​BBNJ Agreement~

On 19 June 2023 (local time), a new treaty on the biodiversity of the high seas and deep seabed was officially adopted at the United Nations.

 

The treaty, referred to as the ‘BBNJ Agreement’, is a significant turning point for related academic fields such as the law of the sea and international environmental law. It is expected to have an important impact on various activities including navigation, academic research, and commercial endeavors.

 

The Center for International Law and Policy will continue to explore the legal and policy-related issues that arise from the treaty and share its findings within and outside of Japan.
