FOREWORD This is the seventh volume of an academic commentary on the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (“Convention”). Since the inception of the project nearly 30 years ago, the Center for Oceans Law and Policy, University of Virginia School of Law has sponsored and supported work on the series. The Virginia Commentary project was conceived by its editors to meet the need for an objective and comprehensive analysis of the articles in the Convention and in the Agreement relating to the Implementation of Part XI of the Convention that entered into force in 1996. The 1982 Convention, with a modified deep seabed regime, had 161 Parties, including the European Union as of the start of 2011. Unlike the First and Second UN Conferences on the Law of the Sea held in 1958 and 1960 respectively, the Third UN Conference did not start with a draft text with accompanying Comments prepared by the International Law Commission. Instead the negotiation and drafting of the Convention articles evolved over five years of deliberations started in 1967 over a regime for the deep seabed. The Third Conference formally commenced with an organizational session in 1973 but the task of reconciling national positions on a substantive draft text actually commenced in 1974 in Caracas. Thereafter, most of the negotiations and drafting of specific texts were done informally where few formal records were kept. Thus, there is no official legislative history for the articles in the Convention. The format for the Virginia Commentary throughout the series is to present the text of each article and thereafter to cite its documentary sources. The line by line development for each article is discussed chronologically for each session of the Conference. Over 100 international law scholars or Conference diplomats, reflecting a wide diversity of views, contributed to drafting or reviewing the Commentaries. The Editor-in-Chief of this unique collegial collaboration for the series was Myron H. Nordquist, Associate Director of the Center for Oceans Law and Policy and the General Editors for the series were Satya N. Nandan and Shabtai Rosenne. The distinguished qualifications in the law of the sea for Ambassadors Nandan and Rosenne are detailed in each volume in the series. Suffice for me to note here that I cannot imagine a better team of editors, authors or reviewers for the Commentary. The reputation of the Virginia Commentary is now firmly established as the most authoritative reference work in the field of international law on the 1982 Convention. The series is regularly cited in judicial proceedings and in scholarly publications around the world. For me personally to have been the Director of the Center for the entire duration of the Commentary project is a source of great satisfaction. I am pleased to have the opportunity to pen this Foreword on the capstone volume. John Norton Moore Director, Center for Oceans Law and Policy

PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This is the seventh and final volume of a hard back series intended to provide a comprehensive, objective and authoritative commentary on the articles in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. As explained in the introduction written by Satya N. Nandan, the contents of this volume contain the consolidated text of the Convention and an Index to the entire series. As co-editors-in-chief, we decided to complete the Commentary series with a hard cover volume consisting of the original 1982 Convention text as fully integrated with the provisions of the 1994 Agreement on the Implementation of Part XI. Reading the 1982 and 1994 texts together presents the consolidated Convention in its final form. We also felt that the last hard cover volume in the series ought to include a subject Index to the prior six substantive volumes as well as the one fisheries agreement specifically implementing the Convention. At the same time, we recognized the ConvenÂ� tion’s intimate relationship with the three international bodies established by the ConvenÂ�tion. To accommodate evolving developments from these unique international institutions, we decided to prepare a companion paperback Supplement focused on the International Seabed Authority, the InternaÂ� tionalÂ€Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf. The Supplement also includes a few other carefully selected related documents of enduring value. Volume I (1985) in the series contains the text of the original Convention and introductory materials, including a note on the extraordinarily complex documentation of the Conference as well as an explanation of its unique negotiating processes. The latter is jointly written by Conference President Tommy Koh and Shanmugam Jayakumar, the leader of the Singapore delegation to the Conference. Volume II (1993) is concentrated on the Second Committee at the Third Conference (dealing with traditional law of the sea topics) with commentaries on Article 1 to 85, Annexes I and II, and Final Act, Annex II. The second part of the Second Committee articles are in Volume III (1995): Articles 86 to 132 along with supplementary documents. The volume editors for both Volumes II and III are Satya N. Nandan and Shabtai Rosenne. Volume IV of the series (1991) is devoted to the Third Committee (mainly marine environment and scientific research), Articles 192–278, and Final Act, Annex VI. The volume editors for Volume IV are Shabtai Rosenne and Alexander Yankov, who chaired the Third Committee at the Conference. Volume V (1989) deals with settlement of disputes Articles 279–320 as well as General and Final provisions and Annex V (conciliation), Annex VI (International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea), Annex VII (arbitration), Annex VIII (special arbitration), Annex IX (international organizations) and Final Act, Annex I, Resolutions I, III and IV. The Volume V editors are Shabtai Rosenne and Louis B. Sohn who was the principal draftsman of the dispute settlement articles at the Third Conference. Volume VI (2002) is the last substantive volume whose release was delayed until after the successful negotiation of the 1994 Agreement on implementation of the deep seabed

regime. The editor-in-chief of this volume is Satya N. Nandan, who was by then Secretary-General of the International Seabed Authority. The Associate Editor for Volume VI was Michael W. Lodge, Legal Adviser to the International Seabed Authority while, again, Shabtai Rosenne served as a General Editor. The commentary in Volume VI covers Articles 133 to 191, Annexes III and IV as well as the Final Act, Annex I, Resolution II and the 1994 Agreement relating to the Implementation of Part XI. The scope and duration of the Virginia Commentary project is without precedent as an academic undertaking in the field of international law. The series could not have been completed without an abiding trust and friendship among the several hundred contributors to the individual volumes. The most remarkable aspect is that these scholar-diplomats came from all parts of the world. While all contributed in their personal capacity, they certainly held differing views on many issues. Often it was a challenge to reconcile differing perceptions. The individuals primarily responsible for drafting and editing commentaries are recognized in each volume. The list for the entire series is too long to repeat here. What is appropriate is to identify a few persons indispensible for crafting and directing the series as a whole. John Norton Moore was not only the Director of the Center for Oceans Law and Policy for the 30 year duration of the Commentary project but also he was the Ambassador and Deputy Special Representative of the President of the United States at the Conference. Professor Moore genuinely appreciated the magnitude of the Commentary effort and his steadfast support in providing a home base at Virginia for the project was essential for the success of the series. The authoritative credibility of the Commentary was derived from the unique expertise and the hands-on Conference experience of the principal author-editors of each volume. No one was better qualified than Tommy Koh as President of the Conference to describe the negotiating process in Volume I. Alexander Yankov was the chairman of the Third Committee at the Conference where he personally oversaw the drafting of the articles dealing with the marine environment and scientific research in Volume IV. Louis B. Sohn was almost the sole draftsman of the dispute settlement articles in the Convention covered in Volume V. Satya N.Nandan was the primary draftsman of the text in the 1994 deep seabed regime Agreement. Michael Lodge worked with Satya Nandan in the International Seabed Authority as its legal counsel. They produced Volume VI of the Commentary. Their combined knowledge of the law governing the activities of the International Seabed Authority is without equal. The heart of the legal regime governing the oceans is found in traditional law of the sea articles drafted in the Second Committee at the Third Conference. These articles cover vital economic and security interests and are a mixture of conventional and customary international law. Satya N. Nandan was the Rapporteur of the Second Committee at the Conference. In many instances, he was the principal draftsman for the original text in the Convention. In such cases, he is the only person that can explain why particular wording was selected. Shabtai Rosenne applied his scrupulous eye for even the most minor detail to almost all of the

substantive volumes of the Commentary. Shabtai Rosenne was the only scholar-diplomat in the Commentary project and one of the few anywhere, who was an active negotiator at the First, Second and Third Conferences on the Law of Sea. He was a walking encyclopedia on both the law of the sea and international law in general. After three decades of collaboration, everyone with even a remote connection to the project acutely misses him after his passing in 2010. We demonstrate our affection and respect for our dear colleague and friend by dedicating Volume VII to his memory. Lastly, as in previous volumes, we acknowledge the kind assistance of individuals who helped to prepare Volume VII. Of special note is Commander James Kraska now a Professor of International Law at the US Naval War College. Commander Kraska is a rising young scholar who was instrumental in pulling together Volume VII as an Associate Editor. Both Marie Sheldon and Lauren Danahy at our publisher Brill-Nijhoff, offered many constructive ideas while Judy Ellis at the Center for Oceans Law and Policy here at the University of Virginia School of Law was technical editor of Volume VII and its companion Supplement. The combination of a helpful publishing team and Judy Ellis’ technical skills overcame what at first blush seemed like insolvable formatting problems. Other staff at the Center for Oceans Law and Policy Center including Executive Administrator Donna Ganoe also helped in various capacities. As always, in the end, the Editor-in-Chief for the series is properly held responsible for inevitable errors and omissions. Myron H. Nordquist Series Editor-in-Chief

INTRODUCTION This is the seventh and concluding volume of the Commentary series on the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982, (the Convention).1 Volume VII has three parts. Part I contains the text of a consolidated version of the Convention with the Agreement Relating to the Implementation of Part XI of the Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 28 July 1994, (the Agreement).2 The Agreement makes significant changes to the regime for deep seabed mining contained in Part XI of the Convention. In so doing, it addressed a number of outstanding issues that had remained controversial when the Convention was adopted on 30 April 1982 by the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (the Conference). For details of the negotiations that led to the adoption of the Agreement see the Introduction to Volume VI of this series. The Agreement resolved the outstanding issues in Part XI that had led to the rejection of the Convention in 1982 by the United States and some other key industrialized States, including Germany and the United Kingdom. Those issues had also inhibited many industrialized States that had signed the Convention from ratifying it. The adoption of the Agreement opened the door to universal participation in the Convention.3 In accordance with the Agreement, any instrument of ratification or formal confirmation of or accession to the Convention following its adoption shall also represent consent to be bound by the Agreement. No State or entity may establish its consent to be bound by the Agreement unless it has previously established or establishes at the same time its consent to be bound by the Convention. The Convention entered into force on 16 November 1994. To avoid a duality of regimes existing upon entry into force of the Convention, the Agreement provided that if it was not in force at the date of entry into force of the Convention it would be applied provisionally pending its entry into force. The Agreement entered into force on 28 July 1996. On the same date its provisional application terminated. For more details on the procedures relating to entry into force of the Agreement and its relation to the Convention see INTRO. 37 in Volume VI. In accordance with Article 2 of the 1994 Agreement, the Agreement and Part XI of the Convention “shall be interpreted and applied together as a

single instrument” and in the event of any inconsistency between the two “the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail”. Since the Agreement was negotiated and adopted before the entry into force of the Convention, with a view to its provisional application from the date of the entry into force of the Convention, the formal amendment procedures prescribed in the Convention could not be used to make the necessary changes. There was also objection to any language that would state that certain provisions of the Convention were being deleted since more than fifty States out of the required sixty, for entry into force, had already ratified the Convention. In the event, a compromise was achieved by providing in the Agreement that certain provisions in Part XI and Annex III of the Convention “shall not apply” but instead certain other provisions contained in the text of the Agreement shall apply to the implementation of the Convention. In this way the necessary modifications to the provisions of Part XI and Annex III were effected. All State Parties, who are ipso facto members of the International Seabed Authority under the Convention, have accepted the binding legal character of the Part XI agreement as reflected in the consolidated text. The modifications of the regime for deep seabed mining as reflected in the consolidated text are now the basis for the decisions of the International Seabed Authority. Furthermore, the Seabed Disputes Chamber of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea issued its first advisory opinion on 1 February 2011, on the Responsibilities and Obligations of States Sponsoring Persons and Entities with Respect to Activities in the Area. The Tribunal affirmed that the Part XI agreement together with the Convention provide the regime for deep seabed mining and in the case of a conflict between the Convention and the agreement the provisions of the agreement “shall prevail” as provided for in the agreement.4 The consolidated text in this volume provides an unofficial merger of Part XI of the Convention with the provisions in the 1994 Agreement. We wish to record our appreciation to Mr. Michael W. Lodge, the Legal Counsel of the International Seabed Authority and his colleagues for providing this consolidated text. Part II consists of the text of the second implementing agreement relating to the provisions of the 1982 Convention. The full title of the agreement is the “Agreement for the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks”. It is commonly known as the “UN Fish Stocks Agreement” or “UNFSA”. The Agreement was done at New York on 4 December 1995 and entered into force on 11 December 2001. It was negotiated at the Conference convened by the United Nations in 1993 at the request of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), held at Rio de Janeiro in June 1992.

Agreement is an important response to the problems of fisheries conservation and management.5 Part III contains a consolidated table of cases and a consolidated table of treaties. Part IV consists of a comprehensive subject index to Volumes I to VI of the Commentary series. We are grateful to Carol Roberts, a professional indexer, for this important work. Notes on the use of the index are also provided. The 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea forms the basis of the modern legal framework for ocean governance. The Convention has made a decisive contribution to the rule of law. It sets out the principles and norms for the conduct of relations among States on maritime issues. As such it contributes immensely to the maintenance of global peace and security. This will be its enduring legacy. The Convention has been described as a constitution for the oceans. Over a number of decades now, it has, without fanfare, imperceptibly but surely, earned its place as a great achievement of the international community. Its influence goes beyond the confines of the law of the sea. It has established itself as part of the global system for peace and security, of which the Charter of the United Nations is the foundation. The achievements of the Convention are many. It has resolved a number of critical issues, some of which had eluded agreement for centuries. It reflects a delicate balance between competing interests in the use of the ocean and its resources by taking a functional approach to establishing the various maritime zones and by defining the rights and duties of States in those zones, including in the ocean space beyond national jurisdiction. The Convention finally settles the breadth of the territorial sea at 12 nautical miles, with a guaranteed right of passage for international navigation in those waters; it ensures unhampered passage6 of vessels and aircraft through and over archipelagic waters and vital straits used for international navigation around the world; it secures for coastal States resource and environmental jurisdiction in a 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone without limiting other legitimate activities of the international community in that zone; it imposes a duty on all States to ensure, through proper conservation and management measures, the long-term sustainable use of living resources; it provides for an extended continental shelf jurisdiction, combining scientific and geological criteria with distance criteria for determining precisely its outer limit and makes provision for the sharing of revenues from the resources of the shelf beyond 200 nautical miles; it guarantees access to and from the sea for land-locked States; it provides for a regime for archipelagic States; it

establishes a regime for the development of the mineral resources of the deep seabed which is the common heritage of mankind,7 and from which mankind as a whole is to benefit; it sets out rules for the conduct of marine scientific research; it contains the most comprehensive set of rules for the protection and preservation of the marine environment and imposes a duty on all States to protect the oceans from all sources of pollution; and it promotes peaceful settlement of disputes by establishing mechanisms and procedures for compulsory settlement of disputes arising from the interpretation and application of the provisions of the Convention. Thus the Convention has established certainty in the international law of the sea in place of the chaos that preceded it. In reviewing the old law and revising or replacing it where necessary, and by introducing new concepts and norms to meet the current needs of the international community, the Convention has revolutionized the international law of the sea. This was achieved through painstaking negotiation on each important issue and through the process of consensus building at the Conference and subsequently through the implementing agreements. The success of the Convention is determined not only by the number of States Parties—which is already remarkable and beyond all expectations— but also by its tangible achievements. The fundamental provisions of the Convention are for the most part consistently and uniformly applied in State practice. This is self-evident from a careful examination of the practice of States in all parts of the world. Those few States who have not become parties so far have certain specific difficulties peculiar to them. These are either internal constitutional problems for some States or issues of a bilateral nature which cannot be resolved through a global treaty. On the other hand, in practice, most of these States recognize that the Convention reflects the current international law of the sea. Indeed, the Convention is recognized as the preeminent source for the international law of the sea by States, the International Court of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and other judicial or arbitral bodies dealing with marine-related issues. The Convention has changed the political geography of the world by enclosing large areas of the oceans under the national jurisdiction of sovereign States. With the near-universal acceptance of the Convention, the problem today is not that there is no legal framework for ocean governance but rather how States should act in the discharge of their responsibilities under the Convention and in the exercise of the rights and duties ascribed to them for ocean governance. It is worthy of note that the Convention is not a static instrument. It provides a basic framework for the conduct of relations among States on maritime issues. Its principles and norms lend themselves to further development. In this sense, there is an in-built flexibility which allows for the development

of new norms, within the framework of the Convention, in response to evolving circumstances. We have already seen this happen in the two implementing agreements that have been adopted. The objectives of these two agreements were different. In the first case the purpose was to modify the provisions of Part XI of the Convention in order to resolve the issues that had remained outstanding when the Convention was adopted. In the second case the purpose was to elaborate upon the principles and norms in the Convention relating to fisheries conservation and management in order to give practical effect to them. The regime set out in the Convention and the 1994 Agreement, while containing the basic principles for exploration and exploitation of the resources of the deep seabed, also requires further elaboration and implementation through the adoption of regulations for the conduct of exploration and exploitation activities. In July 2000, the Assembly of the International Seabed Authority8 approved the first set of such regulations covering prospecting and exploration for polymetallic nodules. The significance of this achievement lay in the fact that it completed the scheme set out in the Convention and the Agreement for the administration of the resources of the international Area9 and provided a mechanism for the practical implementation of the legal regime through the issue of contracts to those who wish to explore the deep seabed.10 While the focus of discussions at the Conference was on the exploration of polymetallic nodules in the international seabed area, this is only one kind of resource available from the sea floor. Recent scientific studies have shown the existence of cobalt bearing crusts and polymetallic sulphides as potentially viable economic resources. Regulations governing these resources are being developed within the overall framework of the Convention and the Agreement, with due regard to the need to protect the marine environment from potentially harmful effects. In July 2010 the Authority adopted a second set of regulations covering prospecting and exploration for polymetallic sulphides. A third set of regulations covering prospecting and exploration for cobalt crusts is in preparation for adoption in 2011. In the area of fisheries, by the early 1990s it was widely recognized that there was over-exploitation of fish resources resulting in dangerous depletionÂ€ of important fish stocks. It was also recognized that the legal regime for high seas fishing set out in the Geneva Convention of 1958, and largely incorporated in the 1982 Convention, was inadequate to safeguard the fisheries resources of the high seas, particularly those classed as straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks. Agenda 21, adopted by UNCED, in

Two further applications for contracts to explore for polymetallic sulphides had been submitted as at December 2010. â•›â•›â•›â•›8 â•›â•›â•›â•›9

paragraph 17.4911 urged that “States should take effective action, including through bilateral and multilateral cooperation, where appropriate at the subregional, regional and global levels, to ensure that high seas fisheries are managed in accordance with the provisions of the United Nations ConvenÂ�tion on the Law of the Sea”. Chapter 17, programme area C of Agenda 21 stated that “the management of high seas fisheries is inadequate in many areas and that some resources are over utilized; noting that there are problems of unregulated fishing, over-capitalization, excessive fleet size, vessel reflagging to escape controls, insufficiently selective gear, unreliable databases and lack of sufficient cooperation between States”. It was therefore not surprising that UNCED called for a conference to address the problems of high seas fisheries. In the context of straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks, the Agreement establishes norms and principles for fisheries management, many of which are of general application to all types of fish stocks and in all jurisdictional areas. Thus, since the conference was dealing with the marine ecosystem in which such stocks are found, it indirectly addressed the problem of fisheries management in general. In particular, the Agreement introduces the concept of the precautionary approach to fisheries management both on the high seas and in areas under national jurisdiction. In this respect, the Agreement is a blueprint for fisheries conservation and management in general and the future of fisheries depends on how this very important agreement on conservation and management of fisheries will be implemented by States. The Agreement recognizes the importance of a cooperative approach to fisheries management and calls for compatible conservation and management measures. While the Agreement does not in any way affect the concept of sovereign rights to living resources within national jurisdiction as provided in the Convention, it nevertheless emphasizes the interdependency of stocks and recognizes that, in the final analysis, neither the coastal State nor the distant water fishing State, can manage the stocks in isolation. There must be a framework through which coastal States and fishing States can cooperate to establish management regimes and agree on problems of allocation and effort limitation. In this regard the provisions of the Convention have been elaborated upon. The roles and responsibilities of regional fisheries management organizations have been clarified and made more meaningful as a forum for management of shared resources. In particular, not only have the requirements for flag State responsibility been further developed and enumerated, but also they have been supplemented by measures that can be taken by members of regional organizations in cases where the flag State is unable or unwilling to take effective action itself. Thus, through a combination of the mechanisms provided in the Agreement

and the measures to be adopted through regional organizations, a significant gap in the effective application of conservation and management measures has been filled. This is an important development in international law concerning the management of fisheries. The provisions of the UN Fish Stocks Agreement are supplemented by the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and the related Agreement to Promote Compliance with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas.12 One of the important features of the 1982 Convention is that throughoutÂ€its many parts, it calls for cooperation between and among States in the implementation of its provisions. It is to be hoped that all future problemsÂ€ arising from the use of the oceans will be resolved through such cooperation. No legal framework would be complete without a mechanism for settling disputes. In most international treaties, it is difficult to get States to agree to such a system. Even in the case of the Charter of the United Nations which establishes the Statute of the International Court of Justice, there is no compulsory and binding dispute settlement mechanism. One of the most important contributions of the Convention, therefore, is the establishment of mechanisms and procedures for compulsory settlement of disputes arising from the interpretation and application of the provisions of the Convention. For this purpose, the Convention establishes a new international institution, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, in addition to existing mechanisms for settlement of disputes, such as arbitration, conciliations, and the International Court of Justice.13 When we look at the broad spectrum of issues dealt with in the Convention it is apparent that the problems of ocean space are closely interrelated and need to be considered as a whole. Indeed, this principle is embodied in the Preamble of the Convention and the inter-relationship of the various parts of the Convention is premised on this fundamental principle. It is therefore imperative that this integrated approach to the different uses of the oceans and the development of its resources is given practical effect. It is only through such an approach that the delicate balance between the conflicting interests and activities in the oceans achieved in the Convention can be maintained. Such a balance was seen as a sine qua non for the general and widespread acceptance of the Convention. While the Convention provides the basic framework, the norms for ocean governance go beyond the Convention and are contained in many instruments, declarations and decisions related to the regulation of differentÂ€ uses of the oceans and the development of their resources. Since the Convention was adopted, and especially since the early 1990s, a large

INTRODUCTION

number of new international instruments have been put in place, within the framework of the Convention. Most pre-existing instruments have been modified to make them consistent with the Convention. Such instruments cover subjects as diverse as navigation and overflight, fisheries, scientific research and the ocean environment in general. In addition, aspects of ocean governance are being discussed in a number of international organizations and technical bodies. These developments, which have taken place within the parameters established by the Convention, represent the best example in the progressive development of international law and the rule of law in ocean governance. There are other important instruments, such as the London Dumping Convention, the Antarctic Treaty System, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Framework Convention on Climate Change and related protocols, which also impact upon the system of ocean governance. To these must be added the influence of declarations such as the Stockholm Declaration on the Human Environment, from which the basic principles for protection and preservation of the marine environment were developed for inclusion in Part XII of the Convention and the UNCED, which produced Agenda 21, in particular Chapter 17 on the seas and oceans, as well as the Global Programme of Action on the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-Based Activities. While not having the status of treaty law, these instruments contain important principles which apply to the oceans and make an important contribution to the overall system of ocean governance. There are also a large number of technical regulatory measures that have been established through global and regional organizations. Among these must be included the rules and guidelines adopted by the International Maritime Organization in relation to maritime safety and prevention of pollution from ships, the rules, codes and conventions adopted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in relation to responsible fishing practices, and the regional seas conventions adopted under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Programme. As the new millennium progresses major challenges will undoubtedly continue to arise in the world’s oceans. They will be driven by the use of its vast resources and by the increasing pressure from rapid technological development, increased scientific research, exploding populations, and concerns for the marine environment. These pressures will come from an ever-growing demand for food resources, rapid growth in communication, trade and transportation as well as from the demand for oil, gas, and other mineral resources from the sea. These challenges can be best addressed through increased international cooperation and through a flexible and creative approach to the implementation of the principles and norms embodied in the Convention.

(2)â•‡ This Convention applies mutatis mutandis to the entities referred to in article 305, paragraph l(b), (c), (d), (e) and (f), which become Parties to this Convention in accordance with the conditions relevant to each, and to that extent “States Parties” refers to those entities. PART II TERRITORIAL SEA AND CONTIGUOUS ZONE SECTION 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS Article 2 Legal status of the territorial sea, of the air space over the territorial sea and of its bed and subsoil 1.â•‡ The sovereignty of a coastal State extends, beyond its land territory and internal waters and, in the case of an archipelagic State, its archipelagic waters, to an adjacent belt of sea, described as the territorial sea. 2.â•‡ This sovereignty extends to the air space over the territorial sea as well as to its bed and subsoil. 3.â•‡ The sovereignty over the territorial sea is exercised subject to this Convention and to other rules of international law. SECTION 2. LIMITS OF THE TERRITORIAL SEA Article 3 Breadth of the territorial sea Every State has the right to establish the breadth of its territorial sea up to a limit not exceeding 12 nautical miles, measured from baselines determined in accordance with this Convention. Article 4 Outer limit of the territorial sea The outer limit of the territorial sea is the line every point of which is at a distance from the nearest point of the baseline equal to the breadth of the territorial sea. Article 5 Normal baseline Except where otherwise provided in this Convention, the normal baseline for measuring the breadth of the territorial sea is the low-water line along the coast as marked on large-scale charts officially recognized by the coastal State.

6

PART I

Article 6 Reefs In the case of islands situated on atolls or of islands having fringing reefs, the baseline for measuring the breadth of the territorial sea is the seaward low-water line of the reef, as shown by the appropriate symbol on charts officially recognized by the coastal State. Article 7 Straight baselines 1.â•‡ In localities where the coastline is deeply indented and cut into, or if there is a fringe of islands along the coast in its immediate vicinity, the method of straight baselines joining appropriate points may be employed in drawing the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured. 2.â•‡ Where because of the presence of a delta and other natural conditions the coastline is highly unstable, the appropriate points may be selected along the furthest seaward extent of the low-water line and, notwithstanding subsequent regression of the low-water line, the straight baselines shall remain effective until changed by the coastal State in accordance with this Convention. 3.â•‡ The drawing of straight baselines must not depart to any appreciable extent from the general direction of the coast, and the sea areas lying within the lines must be sufficiently closely linked to the land domain to be subject to the regime of internal waters. 4.â•‡ Straight baselines shall not be drawn to and from low-tide elevations, unless lighthouses or similar installations which are permanently above sea level have been built on them or except in instances where the drawing of baselines to and from such elevations has received general international recognition. 5.â•‡ Where the method of straight baselines is applicable under paragraph 1, account may be taken, in determining particular baselines, of economic interests peculiar to the region concerned, the reality and the importance of which are clearly evidenced by long usage. 6.â•‡ The system of straight baselines may not be applied by a State in such a manner as to cut off the territorial sea of another State from the high seas or an exclusive economic zone. Article 8 Internal waters 1.â•‡ Except as provided in Part IV, waters on the landward side of the baseline of the territorial sea form part of the internal waters of the State. 2.â•‡ Where the establishment of a straight baseline in accordance with the method set forth in article 7 has the effect of enclosing as internal waters

UN CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF THE SEA

7

areas which had not previously been considered as such, a right of innocent passage as provided in this Convention shall exist in those waters. Article 9 Mouths of rivers If a river flows directly into the sea, the baseline shall be a straight line across the mouth of the river between points on the low-water line of its banks. Article 10 Bays 1.â•‡ This article relates only to bays the coasts of which belong to a single State. 2.â•‡ For the purposes of this Convention, a bay is a well-marked indentation whose penetration is in such proportion to the width of its mouth as to contain land-locked waters and constitute more than a mere curvature of the coast. An indentation shall not, however, be regarded as a bay unless its area is as large as, or larger than, that of the semi-circle whose diameter is a line drawn across the mouth of that indentation. 3.â•‡ For the purpose of measurement, the area of an indentation is that lying between the low-water mark around the shore of the indentation and a line joining the low-water mark of its natural entrance points. Where, because of the presence of islands, an indentation has more than one mouth, the semicircle shall be drawn on a line as long as the sum total of the lengths of the lines across the different mouths. Islands within an indentation shall be included as if they were part of the water area of the indentation. 4.â•‡ If the distance between the low-water marks of the natural entrance points of a bay does not exceed 24 nautical miles, a closing line may be drawn between these two low-water marks, and the waters enclosed thereby shall be considered as internal waters. 5.â•‡ Where the distance between the low-water marks of the natural entrance points of a bay exceeds 24 nautical miles, a straight baseline of 24 nautical miles shall be drawn within the bay in such a manner as to enclose the maximum area of water that is possible with a line of that length. 6.â•‡ The foregoing provisions do not apply to so-called “historic” bays, or in any case where the system of straight baselines provided for in article 7 is applied. Article 11 Ports For the purpose of delimiting the territorial sea, the outermost permanent harbour works which form an integral part of the harbour system are regarded as forming part of the coast. Off-shore installations and artificial islands shall not be considered as permanent harbour works.

PART I

Article 12 Roadsteads Roadsteads which are normally used for the loading, unloading and anchoring of ships, and which would otherwise be situated wholly or partly outside the outer limit of the territorial sea, are included in the territorial sea. Article 13 Low-tide elevations 1.â•‡ A low-tide elevation is a naturally formed area of land which is surrounded by and above water at low tide but submerged at high tide. Where a low-tide elevation is situated wholly or partly at a distance not exceeding the breadth of the territorial sea from the mainland or an island, the low-water line on that elevation may be used as the baseline for measuring the breadth of the territorial sea. 2.â•‡ Where a low-tide elevation is wholly situated at a distance exceeding the breadth of the territorial sea from the mainland or an island, it has no territorial sea of its own. Article 14 Combination of methods for determining baselines The coastal State may determine baselines in turn by any of the methods provided for in the foregoing articles to suit different conditions. Article 15 Delimitation of the territorial sea between States with opposite or adjacent coasts Where the coasts of two States are opposite or adjacent to each other, neither of the two States is entitled, failing agreement between them to the contrary, to extend its territorial sea beyond the median line every point of which is equidistant from the nearest points on the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial seas of each of the two States is measured. The above provision does not apply, however, where it is necessary by reason of historic title or other special circumstances to delimit the territorial seas of the two States in a way which is at variance therewith. Article 16 Charts and lists of geographical co-ordinates 1.â•‡ The baselines for measuring the breadth of the territorial sea determined in accordance with articles 7, 9 and 10, or the limits derived therefrom,Â€and the lines of delimitation drawn in accordance with articles 12 and 15 shall be shown on charts of a scale or scales adequate for ascertaining their

position. Alternatively, a list of geographical co-ordinates of points, specifying the geodetic datum, may be substituted. 2.â•‡ The coastal State shall give due publicity to such charts or lists of geographical co-ordinates and shall deposit a copy of each such chart or list with the Secretary-General of the United Nations. SECTION 3. INNOCENT PASSAGE IN THE TERRITORIAL SEA SUBSECTION A. RULES APPLICABLE TO ALL SHIPS Article 17 Right of innocent passage Subject to this Convention, ships of all States, whether coastal or landlocked, enjoy the right of innocent passage through the territorial sea. Article 18 Meaning of passage of:

1.â•‡ Passage means navigation through the territorial sea for the purpose

(a)â•‡traversing that sea without entering internal waters or calling at a road-stead or port facility outside internal waters; or (b)â•‡proceeding to or from internal waters or a call at such roadstead or port facility. 2.â•‡ Passage shall be continuous and expeditious. However, passage includes stopping and anchoring, but only in so far as the same are incidental to ordinary navigation or are rendered necessary by force majeure or distress or for the purpose of rendering assistance to persons, ships or aircraft in danger or distress. Article 19 Meaning of innocent passage 1.â•‡ Passage is innocent so long as it is not prejudicial to the peace, good order or security of the coastal State. Such passage shall take place in conformity with this Convention and with other rules of international law. 2.â•‡ Passage of a foreign ship shall be considered to be prejudicial to the peace, good order or security of the coastal State if in the territorial sea it engages in any of the following activities: (a)â•‡any threat or use of force against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of the coastal State, or in any other manner in violation of the principles of international law embodied in the Charter of the United Nations; (b)â•‡ any exercise or practice with weapons of any kind;

10

PART I

(c)â•‡â†œæ¸€å±®any act aimed at collecting information to the prejudice of the defence or security of the coastal State; (d)â•‡any act of propaganda aimed at affecting the defence or security of the coastal State; (e)â•‡â†œæ¸€å±®the launching, landing or taking on board of any aircraft; (f)â•‡â•›â†œthe launching, landing or taking on board of any military device; (g)â•‡the loading or unloading of any commodity, currency or person contrary to the customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations of the coastal State; (h)â•‡any act of wilful and serious pollution contrary to this Convention; (i)â•‡â•›â†œæ¸€å±®any fishing activities; (j)â•‡â•›â†œæ¸€å±®â†œthe carrying out of research or survey activities; (k)â•‡any act aimed at interfering with any systems of communication or any other facilities or installations of the coastal State; (l)â•‡â•›â•›any other activity not having a direct bearing on passage. Article 20 Submarines and other underwater vehicles In the territorial sea, submarines and other underwater vehicles are required to navigate on the surface and to show their flag. Article 21 Laws and regulations of the coastal State relating to innocent passage 1.â•‡ The coastal State may adopt laws and regulations, in conformity with the provisions of this Convention and other rules of international law, relating to innocent passage through the territorial sea, in respect of all or any of the following: (a)â•‡â†œthe safety of navigation and the regulation of maritime traffic; (b)â•‡the protection of navigational aids and facilities and other facilities or installations; (c)â•‡â†œthe protection of cables and pipelines; (d)â•‡ the conservation of the living resources of the sea; (e)â•‡â†œæ¸•the prevention of infringement of the fisheries laws and regulations of the coastal State; (f)â•‡â†œæ¸€å±®â†œæ¸€å±®the preservation of the environment of the coastal State and the prevention, reduction and control of pollution thereof; (g)â•‡ marine scientific research and hydrographic surveys; (h)â•‡the prevention of infringement of the customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations of the coastal State. 2.â•‡ Such laws and regulations shall not apply to the design, construction, manning or equipment of foreign ships unless they are giving effect to generally accepted international rules or standards.

3.â•‡ The coastal State shall give due publicity to all such laws and regulations. 4.â•‡ Foreign ships exercising the right of innocent passage through the territorial sea shall comply with all such laws and regulations and all generally accepted international regulations relating to the prevention of collisions at sea. Article 22 Sea lanes and traffic separation schemes in the territorial sea 1.â•‡ The coastal State may, where necessary having regard to the safety of navigation, require foreign ships exercising the right of innocent passage through its territorial sea to use such sea lanes and traffic separation schemes as it may designate or prescribe for the regulation of the passage of ships. 2.â•‡ In particular, tankers, nuclear-powered ships and ships carrying nuclear or other inherently dangerous or noxious substances or materials may be required to confine their passage to such sea lanes. 3.â•‡ In the designation of sea lanes and the prescription of traffic separation schemes under this article, the coastal State shall take into account: (a)â•‡the recommendations of the competent international organization; (b)â•‡ any channels customarily used for international navigation; (c)â•‡ the special characteristics of particular ships and channels; and (d)â•‡ the density of traffic. 4.â•‡ The coastal State shall clearly indicate such sea lanes and traffic separation schemes on charts to which due publicity shall be given. Article 23 Foreign nuclear-powered ships and ships carrying nuclear or other inherently dangerous or noxious substances Foreign nuclear-powered ships and ships carrying nuclear or other inherently dangerous or noxious substances shall, when exercising the right of innocent passage through the territorial sea, carry documents and observe special precautionary measures established for such ships by international agreements. Article 24 Duties of the coastal State 1.â•‡ The coastal State shall not hamper the innocent passage of foreign ships through the territorial sea except in accordance with this Convention. In particular, in the application of this Convention or of any laws or regulations adopted in conformity with this Convention, the coastal State shall not: (a)â•‡impose requirements on foreign ships which have the practical effect of denying or impairing the right of innocent passage; or

12

PART I

(b)â•‡discriminate in form or in fact against the ships of any State or against ships carrying cargoes to, from or on behalf of any State. 2.â•‡ The coastal State shall give appropriate publicity to any danger to navigation, of which it has knowledge, within its territorial sea. Article 25 Rights of protection of the coastal State 1.â•‡ The coastal State may take the necessary steps in its territorial sea to prevent passage which is not innocent. 2.â•‡ In the case of ships proceeding to internal waters or a call at a port facility outside internal waters, the coastal State also has the right to take the necessary steps to prevent any breach of the conditions to which admission of those ships to internal waters or such a call is subject. 3.â•‡ The coastal State may, without discrimination in form or in fact among foreign ships, suspend temporarily in specified areas of its territorial sea the innocent passage of foreign ships if such suspension is essential for the protection of its security, including weapons exercises. Such suspension shall take effect only after having been duly published. Article 26 Charges which may be levied upon foreign ships 1.â•‡ No charge may be levied upon foreign ships by reason only of their passage through the territorial sea. 2.â•‡ Charges may be levied upon a foreign ship passing through the territorial sea as payment only for specific services rendered to the ship. These charges shall be levied without discrimination. SUBSECTION B. RULES APPLICABLE TO MERCHANT SHIPS AND GOVERNMENT SHIPS OPERATED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES Article 27 Criminal jurisdiction on board a foreign ship 1.â•‡ The criminal jurisdiction of the coastal State should not be exercisedÂ€on board a foreign ship passing through the territorial sea to arrest any person or to conduct any investigation in connection with any crime committed on board the ship during its passage, save only in the following cases: (a)â•‡ if the consequences of the crime extend to the coastal State; (b)â•‡if the crime is of a kind to disturb the peace of the country or the good order of the territorial sea; (c)â•‡if the assistance of the local authorities has been requested by the master of the ship or by a diplomatic agent or consular officer of the flag State; or

13

(d)â•‡if such measures are necessary for the suppression of illicit traffic in narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances. 2.â•‡ The above provisions do not affect the right of the coastal State to take any steps authorized by its laws for the purpose of an arrest or investigation on board a foreign ship passing through the territorial sea after leaving internal waters. 3.â•‡ In the cases provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2, the coastal State shall, if the master so requests, notify a diplomatic agent or consular officer of the flag State before taking any steps, and shall facilitate contact between such agent or officer and the ship’s crew. In cases of emergency this notification may be communicated while the measures are being taken. 4.â•‡ In considering whether or in what manner an arrest should be made, the local authorities shall have due regard to the interests of navigation. 5.â•‡ Except as provided in Part XII or with respect to violations of laws and regulations adopted in accordance with Part V, the coastal State may not take any steps on board a foreign ship passing through the territorial sea to arrest any person or to conduct any investigation in connection with any crime committed before the ship entered the territorial sea, if the ship, proceeding from a foreign port, is only passing through the territorial sea without entering internal waters. Article 28 Civil jurisdiction in relation to foreign ships 1.â•‡ The coastal State should not stop or divert a foreign ship passing through the territorial sea for the purpose of exercising civil jurisdiction in relation to a person on board the ship. 2.â•‡ The coastal State may not levy execution against or arrest the ship for the purpose of any civil proceedings, save only in respect of obligations or liabilities assumed or incurred by the ship itself in the course or for the purpose of its voyage through the waters of the coastal State. 3.â•‡ Paragraph 2 is without prejudice to the right of the coastal State, in accordance with its laws, to levy execution against or to arrest, for the purpose of any civil proceedings, a foreign ship lying in the territorial sea, or passing through the territorial sea after leaving internal waters. SUBSECTION C. RULES APPLICABLE TO WARSHIPS AND OTHER GOVERNMENT SHIPS OPERATED FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PURPOSES Article 29 Definition of warships For the purposes of this Convention, “warship” means a ship belonging to the armed forces of a State bearing the external marks distinguishing such ships of its nationality, under the command of an officer duly commissioned

PART I

by the government of the State and whose name appears in the appropriate service list or its equivalent, and manned by a crew which is under regular armed forces discipline. Article 30 Non-compliance by warships with the laws and regulations of the coastal State If any warship does not comply with the laws and regulations of the coastal State concerning passage through the territorial sea and disregards any request for compliance therewith which is made to it, the coastal State may require it to leave the territorial sea immediately. Article 31 Responsibility of the flag State for damage caused by a warship or other government ship operated for non-commercial purposes The flag State shall bear international responsibility for any loss or damage to the coastal State resulting from the non-compliance by a warship orÂ€ other government ship operated for non-commercial purposes with the laws and regulations of the coastal State concerning passage through the territorial sea or with the provisions of this Convention or other rules of international law. Article 32 Immunities of warships and other government ships operated for non-commercial purposes With such exceptions as are contained in subsection A and in articles 30 and 31, nothing in this Convention affects the immunities of warships and other government ships operated for non-commercial purposes. SECTION 4. CONTIGUOUS ZONE Article 33 Contiguous zone 1.â•‡ In a zone contiguous to its territorial sea, described as the contiguous zone, the coastal State may exercise the control necessary to: (a)â•‡prevent infringement of its customs, fiscal, immigration or sanitary laws and regulations within its territory or territorial sea; (b)â•‡punish infringement of the above laws and regulations committed within its territory or territorial sea. 2.â•‡ The contiguous zone may not extend beyond 24 nautical miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured.

SECTION 2. TRANSIT PASSAGE Article 37 Scope of this section This section applies to straits which are used for international navigation between one part of the high seas or an exclusive economic zone and another part of the high seas or an exclusive economic zone. Article 38 Right of transit passage 1.â•‡ In straits referred to in article 37, all ships and aircraft enjoy the right of transit passage, which shall not be impeded; except that, if the strait is formed by an island of a State bordering the strait and its mainland, transit passage shall not apply if there exists seaward of the island a route through the high seas or through an exclusive economic zone of similar convenience with respect to navigational and hydrographical characteristics. 2.â•‡ Transit passage means the exercise in accordance with this Part of the freedom of navigation and overflight solely for the purpose of continuous and expeditious transit of the strait between one part of the high seas or an exclusive economic zone and another part of the high seas or an exclusive economic zone. However, the requirement of continuous and expeditious transit does not preclude passage through the strait for the purpose of entering, leaving or returning from a State bordering the strait, subject to the conditions of entry to that State. 3.â•‡ Any activity which is not an exercise of the right of transit passage through a strait remains subject to the other applicable provisions of this Convention. Article 39 Duties of ships and aircraft during transit passage 1.â•‡ Ships and aircraft, while exercising the right of transit passage, shall: (a)â•‡proceed without delay through or over the strait; (b)â•‡refrain from any threat or use of force against the sovereignty, territorial integrity or political independence of States bordering the strait, or in any other manner in violation of the principles of international law embodied in the Charter of the United Nations; (c)â•‡refrain from any activities other than those incident to their normal modes of continuous and expeditious transit unless rendered necessary by force majeure or by distress; (d)â•‡comply with other relevant provisions of this Part. 2.â•‡ Ships in transit passage shall:

Article 101 Definition of piracy Piracy consists of any of the following acts: (a)â•‡any illegal acts of violence or detention, or any act of depredation, committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship or a private aircraft, and directed: â•…â•‡â•›â•›â•›(i)â•‡on the high seas, against another ship or aircraft, or against persons or property on board such ship or aircraft; â•…â•‡â•›(ii)â•‡against a ship, aircraft, persons or property in a place outside the jurisdiction of any State; (b)â•‡any act of voluntary participation in the operation of a ship or of an aircraft with knowledge of facts making it a pirate ship or aircraft; (c)â•‡any act of inciting or of intentionally facilitating an act described in subparagraph (a) or (b). Article 102 Piracy by a warship, government ship or government aircraft whose crew has mutinied The acts of piracy, as defined in article 101, committed by a warship, government ship or government aircraft whose crew has mutinied and taken control of the ship or aircraft are assimilated to acts committed by a private ship or aircraft. Article 103 Definition of a pirate ship or aircraft A ship or aircraft is considered a pirate ship or aircraft if it is intended by the persons in dominant control to be used for the purpose of committing one of the acts referred to in article 101. The same applies if the ship or aircraft has been used to commit any such act, so long as it remains under the control of the persons guilty of that act. Article 104 Retention or loss of the nationality of a pirate ship or aircraft A ship or aircraft may retain its nationality although it has become a pirate ship or aircraft. The retention or loss of nationality is determined by the law of the State from which such nationality was derived.

Article 105 Seizure of a pirate ship or aircraft On the high seas, or in any other place outside the jurisdiction of any State, every State may seize a pirate ship or aircraft, or a ship or aircraft taken by piracy and under the control of pirates, and arrest the persons and seize the property on board. The courts of the State which carried out the seizure may decide upon the penalties to be imposed, and may also determine the action to be taken with regard to the ships, aircraft or property, subject to the rights of third parties acting in good faith. Article 106 Liability for seizure without adequate grounds Where the seizure of a ship or aircraft on suspicion of piracy has been effected without adequate grounds, the State making the seizure shall be liable to the State the nationality of which is possessed by the ship or aircraft for any loss or damage caused by the seizure. Article 107 Ships and aircraft which are entitled to seize on account of piracy A seizure on account of piracy may be carried out only by warships or military aircraft, or other ships or aircraft clearly marked and identifiable as being on government service and authorized to that effect. Article 108 Illicit traffic in narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances 1.â•‡ All States shall co-operate in the suppression of illicit traffic in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances engaged in by ships on the high seas contrary to international conventions. 2.â•‡ Any State which has reasonable grounds for believing that a ship flying its flag is engaged in illicit traffic in narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances may request the co-operation of other States to suppress such traffic. Article 109 Unauthorized broadcasting from the high seas 1.â•‡ All States shall co-operate in the suppression of unauthorized broadcasting from the high seas. 2.â•‡ For the purposes of this Convention, “unauthorized broadcasting” means the transmission of sound radio or television broadcasts from a ship or installation on the high seas intended for reception by the general public contrary to international regulations, but excluding the transmission of distress calls.

3.â•‡ Any person engaged in unauthorized broadcasting may be prosecuted before the court of: (a)â•‡the flag State of the ship; (b)â•‡the State of registry of the installation; (c)â•‡the State of which the person is a national; (d)â•‡any State where the transmissions can be received; or (e)â•‡any State where authorized radio communication is suffering interference. 4.â•‡ On the high seas, a State having jurisdiction in accordance with paragraph 3 may, in conformity with article 110, arrest any person or ship engaged in unauthorized broadcasting and seize the broadcasting apparatus. Article 110 Right of visit 1.â•‡ Except where acts of interference derive from powers conferred by treaty, a warship which encounters on the high seas a foreign ship, other than a ship entitled to complete immunity in accordance with articles 95 and 96, is not justified in boarding it unless there is reasonable ground for suspecting that: (a)â•‡the ship is engaged in piracy; (b)â•‡the ship is engaged in the slave trade; (c)â•‡the ship is engaged in unauthorized broadcasting and the flag State of the warship has jurisdiction under article 109; (d)â•‡the ship is without nationality; or (e)â•‡though flying a foreign flag or refusing to show its flag, the ship is, in reality, of the same nationality as the warship. 2.â•‡ In the cases provided for in paragraph 1, the warship may proceed to verify the ship’s right to fly its flag. To this end, it may send a boat under the command of an officer to the suspected ship. If suspicion remains after the documents have been checked, it may proceed to a further examination on board the ship, which must be carried out with all possible consideration. 3.â•‡ If the suspicions prove to be unfounded, and provided that the ship boarded has not committed any act justifying them, it shall be compensated for any loss or damage that may have been sustained. 4.â•‡ These provisions apply mutatis mutandis to military aircraft. 5.â•‡ These provisions also apply to any other duly authorized ships or aircraft clearly marked and identifiable as being on government service. Article 111 Right of hot pursuit 1.â•‡ The hot pursuit of a foreign ship may be undertaken when the competent authorities of the coastal State have good reason to believe that the ship has violated the laws and regulations of that State. Such pursuit must be commenced when the foreign ship or one of its boats is within the internal waters,

46

PART I

the archipelagic waters, the territorial sea or the contiguous zone of the pursuing State, and may only be continued outside the territorial sea or the contiguous zone if the pursuit has not been interrupted. It is not necessary that, at the time when the foreign ship within the territorial sea or the contiguous zone receives the order to stop, the ship giving the order should likewise be within the territorial sea or the contiguous zone. If the foreign ship is within a contiguous zone, as defined in article 33, the pursuit may only be undertaken if there has been a violation of the rights for the protection of which the zone was established. 2.â•‡ The right of hot pursuit shall apply mutatis mutandis to violations in the exclusive economic zone or on the continental shelf, including safety zones around continental shelf installations, of the laws and regulations of the coastal State applicable in accordance with this Convention to the exclusive economic zone or the continental shelf, including such safety zones. 3.â•‡ The right of hot pursuit ceases as soon as the ship pursued enters the territorial sea of its own State or of a third State. 4.â•‡ Hot pursuit is not deemed to have begun unless the pursuing ship has satisfied itself by such practicable means as may be available that the ship pursued or one of its boats or other craft working as a team and using the ship pursued as a mother ship is within the limits of the territorial sea, or, as the case may be, within the contiguous zone or the exclusive economic zone or above the continental shelf. The pursuit may only be commenced after a visual or auditory signal to stop has been given at a distance which enables it to be seen or heard by the foreign ship. 5.â•‡ The right of hot pursuit may be exercised only by warships or military aircraft, or other ships or aircraft clearly marked and identifiable as being on government service and authorized to that effect. 6.â•‡ Where hot pursuit is effected by an aircraft: (a)â•‡the provisions of paragraphs 1 to 4 shall apply mutatis mutandis; (b)â•‡the aircraft giving the order to stop must itself actively pursue the ship until a ship or another aircraft of the coastal State, summoned by the aircraft, arrives to take over the pursuit, unless the aircraft is itself able to arrest the ship. It does not suffice to justify an arrest outside the territorial sea that the ship was merely sighted by the aircraft as an offender or suspected offender, if it was not both ordered to stop and pursued by the aircraft itself or other aircraft or ships which continue the pursuit without interruption. 7.â•‡ The release of a ship arrested within the jurisdiction of a State and escorted to a port of that State for the purposes of an inquiry before the competent authorities may not be claimed solely on the ground that the ship, in the course of its voyage, was escorted across a portion of the exclusive economic zone or the high seas, if the circumstances rendered this necessary. 8.â•‡ Where a ship has been stopped or arrested outside the territorial sea in circumstances which do not justify the exercise of the right of hot pursuit, it

shall be compensated for any loss or damage that may have been thereby sustained. Article 112 Right to lay submarine cables and pipelines 1.â•‡ All States are entitled to lay submarine cables and pipelines on the bed of the high seas beyond the continental shelf. 2.â•‡ Article 79, paragraph 5, applies to such cables and pipelines. Article 113 Breaking or injury of a submarine cable or pipeline Every State shall adopt the laws and regulations necessary to provide that the breaking or injury by a ship flying its flag or by a person subject to its jurisdiction of a submarine cable beneath the high seas done wilfully or through culpable negligence, in such a manner as to be liable to interrupt or obstruct telegraphic or telephonic communications, and similarly the breaking or injury of a submarine pipeline or high-voltage power cable, shall be a punishable offence. This provision shall apply also to conduct calculated or likely to result in such breaking or injury. However, it shall not apply to any break or injury caused by persons who acted merely with the legitimate object of saving their lives or their ships, after having taken all necessary precautions to avoid such break or injury. Article 114 Breaking or injury by owners of a submarine cable or pipeline of another submarine cable or pipeline Every State shall adopt the laws and regulations necessary to provide that, if persons subject to its jurisdiction who are the owners of a submarine cable or pipeline beneath the high seas, in laying or repairing that cable or pipeline, cause a break in or injury to another cable or pipeline, they shall bear the cost of the repairs. Article 115 Indemnity for loss incurred in avoiding injury to a submarine cable or pipeline Every State shall adopt the laws and regulations necessary to ensure that the owners of ships who can prove that they have sacrificed an anchor, a net or any other fishing gear, in order to avoid injuring a submarine cable or pipeline, shall be indemnified by the owner of the cable or pipeline, provided that the owner of the ship has taken all reasonable precautionary measures beforehand.

Article 17 Rules, regulations and procedures of the Authority 1.â•‡ The Authority shall adopt and uniformly apply rules, regulations and procedures in accordance with Article 160, paragraph 2(f)(ii), and article 162, paragraph 2(o)(ii), for the exercise of its functions as set forth in Part XI on, inter alia, the following matters: (a)â•‡administrative procedures relating to prospecting, exploration and exploitation in the Area; (b)â•‡operations: â•‡â•‡â•›(i)â•‡size of area; â•‡â•›â•›â•›(ii)â•‡duration of operations; â•‡â•›(iii)â•‡performance requirements including assurances pursuant to article 4, paragraph 6(c), of this Annex; â•‡â•›â•›(iv)â•‡categories of resources; â•‡ â•‡ (v)â•‡renunciation of areas; â•›â•‡ â•›(vi)â•‡progress reports; â•›â•›â•›(vii)â•‡submission of data; â•›(viii)â•‡inspection and supervision of operations; â•‡ â•›â•›(ix)â•‡prevention of interference with other activities in the marine environment; â•›â•›â•›â•›â•›â•›â•›â•›(x)â•‡transfer of rights and obligations by a contractor; â•‡â•›â•›(xi)â•‡procedures for transfer of technology to developing States in accordance with article 144 and for their direct participation; â•›â•›â•›(xii)â•‡mining standards and practices, including those relating to operational safety, conservation of the resources and the protection of the marine environment; â•›(xiii)â•‡definition of commercial production; (xiv)â•‡qualification standards for applicants; (c)â•‡financial matters: â•‡â•›â•›â•›(i)â•‡establishment of uniform and non-discriminatory costing and accounting rules and the method of selection of auditors; â•‡â•›(ii)â•‡apportionment of proceeds of operations; (iii)â•‡the incentives referred to in article 13 of this Annex; (d)â•‡implementation of decisions taken pursuant to article 151, paragraph 10, and article 164, paragraph 2(d).

164

PART I

2.â•‡ Rules, regulations and procedures on the following items shall fully reflect the objective criteria set out below: (a)â•‡Size of areas: The Authority shall determine the appropriate size of areas for exploration which may be up to twice as large as those for exploitation in order to permit intensive exploration operations. The size of area shall be calculated to satisfy the requirements of article 8 of this Annex on reservation of areas as well as stated production requirements consistent with article 151 in accordance with the terms of the contract taking into account the state of the art of technology then available for seabed mining and the relevant physical characteristics of the areas. Areas shall be neither smaller nor larger than are necessary to satisfy this objective. (b)â•‡Duration of operations: â•›â•›â•›â•›â•›(i)â•‡Prospecting shall be without time-limit; â•›â•›â•›(ii)â•‡Exploration should be of sufficient duration to permit a thorough survey of the specific area, the design and construction of mining equipment for the area and the design and construction of small and medium-size processing plants for the purpose of testing mining and processing systems; (iii)â•‡The duration of exploitation should be related to the economicÂ€life of the mining project, taking into consideration such factors as the depletion of the ore, the useful life of mining equipment and processing facilities and commercial viability. Exploitation should be of sufficient duration to permit commercial extraction of minerals of the area and should include a reasonable time period for construction of commercial-scale mining and processing systems, during which period commercial production should not be required. The total duration of exploitation, however, should also be short enough to give the Authority an opportunity to amend the terms and conditions of the plan of work at the time it considers renewal in accordance with rules, regulations and procedures which it has adopted subsequent to approving the plan of work. (c)â•‡Performance requirements: The Authority shall require that during the exploration stage periodic expenditures be made by the operator which are reasonably related to the size of the area covered by the plan of work and the expenditures which would be expected of a bona fide operator who intended to bring the area into commercial production within the time-limits established by the Authority. The required expenditures should not be established at a level which would discourage prospective operators with less costly technology than is prevalently in use. The Authority shall establish a maximum time interval, after the exploration stage is completed and the exploitation stage begins, to achieve commercial production. To determine this interval, the Authority should take into consideration that construction of large-scale mining and processing

UN CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF THE SEA

165

systems cannot be initiated until after the termination of the exploration stage and the commencement of the exploitation stage. Accordingly, the interval to bring an area into commercial production should take into account the time necessary for this construction after the completion of the exploration stage and reasonable allowance should be made for unavoidable delays in the construction schedule. Once commercial production is achieved, the Authority shall within reasonable limits and taking into consideration all relevant factors require the operator to maintain commercial production throughout the period of the plan of work.

AGREEMENT, ANNEX, SECTION 1, PARAGRAPH 5 5.â•‡ Between the entry into force of the Convention and the approval of the first plan of work for exploitation, the Authority shall concentrate on: … (f)â•‡ Adoption of rules, regulations and procedures necessary for the conduct of activities in the Area as they progress. Notwithstanding the provisions of Annex III, article 17, paragraph 2 (b) and (c), of the Convention, such rules, regulations and procedures shall take into account the terms of this Agreement, the prolonged delay in commercial deep seabed mining and the likely pace of activities in the Area; (d)â•‡Categories of resources: In determining the category of resources in respect of which a plan of work may be approved, the Authority shall give emphasis inter alia to the following characteristics: â•›â•›(i)â•‡that certain resources require the use of similar mining methods; and (ii)â•‡that some resources can be developed simultaneously without undue interference between operators developing different resources in the same area. Nothing in this subparagraph shall preclude the Authority from approving a plan of work with respect to more than one category of resources in the same area to the same applicant. (e)â•‡Renunciation of areas: The operator shall have the right at any time to renounce without penalty the whole or part of his rights in the area covered by a plan of work. (f)â•‡Protection of the marine environment: Rules, regulations and procedures shall be drawn up in order to secureÂ€effective protection of the marine environment from harmful effects directly resulting from activities in the Area or from shipboard processing immediately above a mine site of minerals derived from that mine site, taking into account the extent to which such harmful

166

PART I

effects may directly result from drilling, dredging, coring and excavation and from disposal, dumping and discharge into the marine environment of sediment, wastes or other effluents. (g)â•‡Commercial production: Commercial production shall be deemed to have begun if an operator engages in sustained large-scale recovery operations which yield a quantity of materials sufficient to indicate clearly that the principal purpose is large-scale production rather than production intended for information gathering, analysis or the testing of equipment or plant. Article 18 Penalties 1.â•‡ A contractor’s rights under the contract may be suspended or terminated only in the following cases: (a)â•‡if, in spite of warnings by the Authority, the contractor has conducted his activities in such a way as to result in serious, persistent and willful violations of the fundamental terms of the contract, Part XI and the rules, regulations and procedures of the Authority; or (b)â•‡if the contractor has failed to comply with a final binding decision of the dispute settlement body applicable to him. 2.â•‡ In the case of any violation of the contract not covered by paragraph 1(a), or in lieu of suspension or termination under paragraph 1(a), the Authority may impose upon the contractor monetary penalties proportionate to the seriousness of the violation. 3.â•‡ Except for emergency orders under article 162, paragraph 2(w), the Authority may not execute a decision involving monetary penalties, susÂ� pension or termination until the contractor has been accorded a reasonable opportunity to exhaust the judicial remedies available to him pursuant to Part XI, section 5. Article 19 Revision of contract 1.â•‡ When circumstances have arisen or are likely to arise which, in the opinion of either party, would render the contract inequitable or make it impracticable or impossible to achieve the objectives set out in the contract or in Part XI, the parties shall enter into negotiations to revise it accordingly. 2.â•‡ Any contract entered into in accordance with article 153, paragraph 3, may be revised only with the consent of the parties. Article 20 Transfer of rights and obligations The rights and obligations arising under a contract may be transferred onlyÂ€ with the consent of the Authority, and in accordance with its rules,

167

Â� regulations and procedures. The Authority shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the transfer if the proposed transferee is in all respects a qualified applicant and assumes all of the obligations of the transferor and if the transfer does not confer to the transferee a plan of work, the approval of which would be forbidden by article 6, paragraph 3(c), of this Annex. Article 21 Applicable law 1.â•‡ The contract shall be governed by the terms of the contract, the rules, regulations and procedures of the Authority, Part XI and other rules of international law not incompatible with this Convention. 2.â•‡ Any final decision rendered by a court or tribunal having jurisdiction under this Convention relating to the rights and obligations of the Authority and of the contractor shall be enforceable in the territory of each State Party. 3.â•‡ No State Party may impose conditions on a contractor that are inconsistent with Part XI. However, the application by a State Party to contractors sponsored by it, or to ships flying its flag, of environmental or other laws and regulations more stringent than those in the rules, regulations and procedures of the Authority adopted pursuant to article 17, paragraph 2(f), of this Annex shall not be deemed inconsistent with Part XI. Article 22 Responsibility The contractor shall have responsibility or liability for any damage arising out of wrongful acts in the conduct of its operations, account being taken of contributory acts or omissions by the Authority. Similarly, the Authority shall have responsibility or liability for any damage arising out of wrongful acts in the exercise of its powers and functions, including violations under article 168, paragraph 2, account being taken of contributory acts or omissions by the contractor. Liability in every case shall be for the actual amount of damage. ANNEX IV. STATUTE OF THE ENTERPRISE Article 1 Purpose 1.â•‡ The Enterprise is the organ of the Authority which shall carry out activities in the Area directly, pursuant to article 153, paragraph 2(a), as well as the transporting, processing and marketing of minerals recovered from the Area. 2.â•‡ In carrying out its purposes and in the exercise of its functions, the Enterprise shall act in accordance with this Convention and the rules, regulations and procedures of the Authority.

NOTE ON THE CONSOLIDATION OF PART XI AND ANNEX III OF THE CONVENTION AND THE AGREEMENT RELATING TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PART XI OF THE CONVENTION Part XI, and Annex III, of the Convention have been consolidated with the relevant provisions of the Agreement relating to the implementation of Part XI of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. This unofficial consolidation of Part XI and the Agreement has been prepared by the Office of Legal Affairs of the International Seabed Authority and was originally published by the Authority in 1998 (ISA/98/04). It in no way replaces the official texts of the Convention and the Agreement published by the United Nations (UN Publication, Sales No. E.97.V.10). In accordance with article 2 of the Agreement, the provisions of the Agreement and Part XI shall be interpreted and applied together as a single instrument. In the event of any inconsistency between the Agreement and Part XI, the provisions of the Agreement shall prevail. The text of the consolidation follows the order of Part XI of the Convention. Relevant provisions of the Agreement are inserted in the appropriate places in the text. Certain provisions of the Agreement affect more than one provision of Part XI and are therefore repeated in several places. In a number of instances, the Agreement states that a particular provision of Part XI “does not apply”. In such cases, so as not to interrupt the flow of the text, the provisions of Part XI which, pursuant to the Agreement, do not apply are indicated by an endnote reference and omitted from the main body of the text. For reference purposes, those provisions are, however, set out in full at the end of this note. In a number of cases, provisions contained in Part XI include crossreferences to other provisions of Part XI which, pursuant to the Agreement, no longer apply. Where this occurs, reference is made by means of a footnoteÂ€to the equivalent, or parallel, provision of the Agreement. The applicability, or otherwise, of the equivalent, or parallel, provision would be subject to article 2 of the Agreement. The annex to the Agreement does not follow the same order as Part XI of the Convention. Accordingly, in consolidating the provisions of the annex to the Agreement with the provisions of Part XI, it is not possible to set out the provisions of the annex to the Agreement sequentially. The entire text of the Agreement, in its original form as an annex to General Assembly resolution 48/263, is reproduced in Volume VI of this series, page 855 et seq.

204

PART I

a â•‡ The relevant parts of article 151 which, pursuant to Section 6, paragraph 7 of the annex to the Agreement, shall not apply, formerly read as follows: 1.â•‡ (a)â•‡Without prejudice to the objectives set forth in article 150 and for the purpose of implementing subparagraph (h) of that article, the Authority, acting through existing forums or such new arrangements or agreements as may be appropriate, in which all interested parties, including both producers and consumers, participate, shall take measures necessary to promote the growth, efficiency and stability of markets for those commodities produced from the minerals derived from the Area, at prices remunerative to producers and fair to consumers. All States Parties shall co-operate to this end. (b)â•‡The Authority shall have the right to participate in any commodity conference dealing with those commodities and in which all interested parties including both producers and consumers participate. The Authority shall have the right to become a party to any arrangement or agreement resulting from such conferences. Participation of the Authority in any organs established under those arrangements or agreements shall be in respect of production in the Area and in accordance with the relevant rules of those organs. (c)â•‡The Authority shall carry out its obligations under the arrangements or agreements referred to in this paragraph in a manner which assures a uniform and non-discriminatory implementation in respect of all production in the Area of the minerals concerned. In doing so, the Authority shall act in a manner consistent with the terms of existing contracts and approved plans of work of the Enterprise. 2.â•‡(a)â•‡During the interim period specified in paragraph 3, commercial production shall not be undertaken pursuant to an approved plan of work until the operator has applied for and has been issued a production authorization by the Authority. Such production authorizations may not be applied for or issued more than five years prior to the planned commencement of commercial production under the plan of work unless, having regard to the nature and timing of project development, the rules, regulations and procedures of the Authority prescribe another period. (b)â•‡In the application for the production authorization, the operator shall specify the annual quantity of nickel expected to be recovered under the approved plan of work. The application shall include a schedule of expenditures to be made by the operator after he has received the authorization which are reasonably calculated to allow him to begin commercial production on the date planned. (c)â•‡For the purposes of subparagraphs (a) and (b), the Authority shall establish appropriate performance requirements in accordance with Annex III, article 17. (d)â•‡The Authority shall issue a production authorization for the level of production applied for unless the sum of that level and the levels already authorized exceeds the nickel production ceiling, as calculated pursuant to paragraph 4 in the year of issuance of the authorization, during any year of planned production falling within the interim period. (e)â•‡When issued, the production authorization and approved application shall become a part of the approved plan of work. (f)â•‡If the operator’s application for a production authorization is denied pursuant to subparagraph (d), the operator may apply again to the Authority at any time. 3.â•‡The interim period shall begin five years prior to 1 January of the year in which the earliest commercial production is planned to commence under an approved plan of work. If the earliest commercial production is delayed beyond the year originally planned, the beginning of the interim period and the production ceiling originally calculated shall be adjusted accordingly. The interim period shall last 25 years or until the end of the Review Conference referred to in article 155 or until the day when such new arrangements or agreements as are referred to in paragraph 1 enter into force, whichever is earliest. The Authority shall resume the power provided in this article for the remainder of the interim period if the said arrangements or agreements should lapse or become ineffective for any reason whatsoever. 4.â•‡ (a)â•‡ The production ceiling for any year of the interim period shall be the sum of: â•›â•›(i)â•‡the difference between the trend line values for nickel consumption, as calculated pursuant to subparagraph (b), for the year immediately prior to the year of the earliest commercial production and the year immediately prior to the commencement of the interim period; and sixty per cent of the difference between the trend line values for nickel (ii)â•‡ Â�consumption, as calculated pursuant to subparagraph (b), for the year for which

UN CONVENTION ON THE LAW OF THE SEA

205

the production authorization is being applied for and the year immediately prior to the year of the earliest commercial production. (b)â•‡ For the purposes of subparagraph (a): â•›â•›(i)â•‡trend line values used for computing the nickel production ceiling shall be those annual nickel consumption values on a trend line computed during the year in which a production authorization is issued. The trend line shall be derived from a linear regression of the logarithms of actual nickel consumption for the most recent 15-year period for which such data are available, time being the independent variable. This trend line shall be referred to as the original trend line; (ii)â•‡if the annual rate of increase of the original trend line is less than 3 per cent, then the trend line used to determine the quantities referred to in subparagraph (a) shall instead be one passing through the original trend line at the value for the first year of the relevant 15-year period, and increasing at 3 per cent annually; provided however that the production ceiling established for any year of the interim period may not in any case exceed the difference between the original trend line value for that year the original trend line value for the year immediately prior to the commencement of the interim period. 5.â•‡The Authority shall reserve to the Enterprise for its initial production a quantity of 38,000 metric tonnes of nickel from the available production ceiling calculated pursuant to paragraph 4. 6.â•‡ (a)â•‡An operator may in any year produce less than or up to 8 per cent more than the level of annual production of minerals from polymetallic nodules specified in his production authorization, provided that the overall amount of production shall not exceed that specified in the authorization. Any excess over 8 per cent and up to 20 per cent in any year, or any excess in the first and subsequent years following two consecutive years in which excesses occur, shall be negotiated with the Authority, which may require the operator to obtain a supplementary production authorization to cover additional production. (b)â•‡Applications for such supplementary production authorizations shall be considered by the Authority only after all pending applications by operators who have not yet received production authorizations have been acted upon and due account has been taken of other likely applicants. The Authority shall be guided by the principle of not exceeding the total production allowed under the production ceiling in any year of the interim period. It shall not authorize the production under any plan of work of a quantity in excess of 46,500 metric tonnes of nickel per year. 7.â•‡The levels of production of other metals such as copper, cobalt and manganese extracted from the polymetallic nodules that are recovered pursuant to a production authorization should not be higher than those which would have been produced had the operator produced the maximum level of nickel from those nodules pursuant to this article. The Authority shall establish rules, regulations and procedures pursuant to Annex III, article 17, to implement this paragraph. … 9.â•‡The Authority shall have the power to limit the level of production of minerals from the Area other than minerals from polymetallic nodules, under such conditions and applying such methods as may be appropriate by adopting regulations in accordance with article 161, paragraph 8.

b â•‡ The relevant parts of Article 155 which, pursuant to Section 4 of the annex to the Agreement, shall not apply, formerly read as follows: 1.â•‡Fifteen years from 1 January of the year in which the earliest commercial productionÂ€commences under an approved plan of work, the Assembly shall convene a conÂ� ference for the review of those provisions of this Part and the relevant Annexes which govern the system of exploration and exploitation of the resources of the Area. The Review Conference shall consider in detail, in the light of the experience acquired during that period: (a)â•‡whether the provisions of this Part which govern the system of exploration and exploitation of the resources of the Area have achieved their aims in all respects, including whether they have benefited mankind as a whole; (b)â•‡whether during the 15-year period, reserved areas have been exploited in an effective and balanced manner in comparison with non-reserved areas;

206

PART I

223

(i) take into account the interests of artisanal and subsistence fishers; (j) collect and share, in a timely manner, complete and accurate data concerning fishing activities on, inter alia, vessel position, catch of target and non-target species and fishing effort, as set out in Annex I, as well as information from national and international research programmes; (k) promote and conduct scientific research and develop appropriate technologies in support of fishery conservation and management; and (l) implement and enforce conservation and management measures through effective monitoring, control and surveillance. Article 6

Application of the precautionary approach 1. States shall apply the precautionary approach widely to conservation, management and exploitation of straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks in order to protect the living marine resources and preserve the marine environment. 2. States shall be more cautious when information is uncertain, unreliable or inadequate. The absence of adequate scientific information shall not be used as a reason for postponing or failing to take conservation and management measures. 3. In implementing the precautionary approach, States shall: (a) improve decision-making for fishery resource conservation and management by obtaining and sharing the best scientific information available and implementing improved techniques for dealing with risk and uncertainty; (b) apply the guidelines set out in Annex II and determine, on the basis of the best scientific information available, stock-specific reference points and the action to be taken if they are exceeded; (c) take into account, inter alia, uncertainties relating to the size and productivity of the stocks, reference points, stock condition in relation to such reference points, levels and distribution of fishing mortality and the impact of fishing activities on non-target and associated or dependent species, as well as existing and predicted oceanic, environmental and socio-economic conditions; and (d) develop data collection and research programmes to assess the impact of fishing on non-target and associated or dependent species and their environment, and adopt plans which are necessary to ensure the conservation of such species and to protect habitats of special concern.

224

PART II

4. States shall take measures to ensure that, when reference points are approached, they will not be exceeded. In the event that they are exceeded, States shall, without delay, take the action determined under paragraph 3 (b) to restore the stocks. 5. Where the status of target stocks or non-target or associated or dependent species is of concern, States shall subject such stocks and species to enhanced monitoring in order to review their status and the efficacy of conservation and management measures. They shall revise those measures regularly in the light of new information. 6. For new or exploratory fisheries, States shall adopt as soon as possible cautious conservation and management measures, including, inter alia, catch limits and effort limits. Such measures shall remain in force until there are sufficient data to allow assessment of the impact of the fisheries on the longterm sustainability of the stocks, whereupon conservation and management measures based on that assessment shall be implemented. The latter measures shall, if appropriate, allow for the gradual development of the fisheries. 7. If a natural phenomenon has a significant adverse impact on the status of straddling fish stocks or highly migratory fish stocks, States shall adopt conservation and management measures on an emergency basis to ensure that fishing activity does not exacerbate such adverse impact. States shall also adopt such measures on an emergency basis where fishing activity presents a serious threat to the sustainability of such stocks. Measures taken on an emergency basis shall be temporary and shall be based on the best scientific evidence available. Article 7

Compatibility of conservation and management measures 1. Without prejudice to the sovereign rights of coastal States for the purpose of exploring and exploiting, conserving and managing the living marine resources within areas under national jurisdiction as provided for in the Convention, and the right of all States for their nationals to engage in fishing on the high seas in accordance with the Convention: (a) with respect to straddling fish stocks, the relevant coastal States and the States whose nationals fish for such stocks in the adjacent high seas area shall seek, either directly or through the appropriate mechanisms for cooperation provided for in Part III, to agree upon the measures necessary for the conservation of these stocks in the adjacent high seas area; (b) with respect to highly migratory fish stocks, the relevant coastal States and other States whose nationals fish for such stocks in the region shall cooperate, either directly or through the appropriate mechanisms for cooperation

225

provided for in Part III, with a view to ensuring conservation and promoting the objective of optimum utilization of such stocks throughout the region, both within and beyond the areas under national jurisdiction. 2. Conservation and management measures established for the high seas and those adopted for areas under national jurisdiction shall be compatible in order to ensure conservation and management of the straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks in their entirety. To this end, coastal States and States fishing on the high seas have a duty to cooperate for the purpose of achieving compatible measures in respect of such stocks. In determining compatible conservation and management measures, States shall: (a) take into account the conservation and management measures adopted and applied in accordance with article 61 of the Convention in respect of the same stocks by coastal States within areas under national jurisdiction and ensure that measures established in respect of such stocks for the high seas do not undermine the effectiveness of such measures; (b) take into account previously agreed measures established and applied for the high seas in accordance with the Convention in respect of the same stocks by relevant coastal States and States fishing on the high seas; (c) take into account previously agreed measures established and applied in accordance with the Convention in respect of the same stocks by a subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement; (d) take into account the biological unity and other biological characteristics of the stocks and the relationships between the distribution of the stocks, the fisheries and the geographical particularities of the region concerned, including the extent to which the stocks occur and are fished in areas under national jurisdiction; (e) take into account the respective dependence of the coastal States and the States fishing on the high seas on the stocks concerned; and (f) ensure that such measures do not result in harmful impact on the living marine resources as a whole. 3. In giving effect to their duty to cooperate, States shall make every effort to agree on compatible conservation and management measures within a reasonable period of time. 4. If no agreement can be reached within a reasonable period of time, any of the States concerned may invoke the procedures for the settlement of disputes provided for in Part VIII. 5. Pending agreement on compatible conservation and management measures, the States concerned, in a spirit of understanding and cooperation, shall

226

PART II

make every effort to enter into provisional arrangements of a practical nature. In the event that they are unable to agree on such arrangements, any of the States concerned may, for the purpose of obtaining provisional measures, submit the dispute to a court or tribunal in accordance with the procedures for the settlement of disputes provided for in Part VIII. 6. Provisional arrangements or measures entered into or prescribed pursuant to paragraph 5 shall take into account the provisions of this Part, shall have due regard to the rights and obligations of all States concerned, shall not jeopardize or hamper the reaching of final agreement on compatible conservation and management measures and shall be without prejudice to the final outcome of any dispute settlement procedure. 7. Coastal States shall regularly inform States fishing on the high seas in the subregion or region, either directly or through appropriate subregional or regional fisheries management organizations or arrangements, or through other appropriate means, of the measures they have adopted for straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks within areas under their national jurisdiction. 8. States fishing on the high seas shall regularly inform other interested States, either directly or through appropriate subregional or regional fisheries management organizations or arrangements, or through other appropriate means, of the measures they have adopted for regulating the activities of vessels flying their flag which fish for such stocks on the high seas. PART III MECHANISMS FOR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION CONCERNING STRADDLING FISH STOCKS AND HIGHLY MIGRATORY FISH STOCKS Article 8

Cooperation for conservation and management 1. Coastal States and States fishing on the high seas shall, in accordance with the Convention, pursue cooperation in relation to straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks either directly or through appropriate subregional or regional fisheries management organizations or arrangements, taking into account the specific characteristics of the subregion or region, to ensure effective conservation and management of such stocks. 2. States shall enter into consultations in good faith and without delay, particularly where there is evidence that the straddling fish stocks and highly

Fish Stocks Agreement

227

migratory fish stocks concerned may be under threat of over-exploitation or where a new fishery is being developed for such stocks. To this end, consultations may be initiated at the request of any interested State with a view to establishing appropriate arrangements to ensure conservation and management of the stocks. Pending agreement on such arrangements,Â€States shall observe the provisions of this Agreement and shall act in good faith and with due regard to the rights, interests and duties of other States. 3. Where a subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement has the competence to establish conservation and management measures for particular straddling fish stocks or highly migratory fish stocks, States fishing for the stocks on the high seas and relevant coastal States shall give effect to their duty to cooperate by becoming members of such organization or participants in such arrangement, or by agreeing to apply the conservation and management measures established by such organization or arrangement. States having a real interest in the fisheries concerned may become members of such organization or participants in such arrangement. The terms of participation in such organization or arrangement shall not preclude such States from membership or participation; nor shall they be applied in a manner which discriminates against any State or group of States having a real interest in the fisheries concerned. 4. Only those States which are members of such an organization or participants in such an arrangement, or which agree to apply the conservation and management measures established by such organization or arrangement,Â€ shall have access to the fishery resources to which those measures apply. 5. Where there is no subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement to establish conservation and management measures for a particular straddling fish stock or highly migratory fish stock, relevant coastal States and States fishing on the high seas for such stock in the subregion or region shall cooperate to establish such an organization or enter into other appropriate arrangements to ensure conservation and management of such stock and shall participate in the work of the organization or arrangement. 6. Any State intending to propose that action be taken by an intergovernÂ� mental organization having competence with respect to living resources should, where such action would have a significant effect on conservation and management measures already established by a competent subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement, consult through that organization or arrangement with its members or participants. To the extent practicable, such consultation should take place prior to the submission of the proposal to the intergovernmental organization.

States fishing for straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks in an area of the high seas surrounded entirely by an area under the nationalÂ€jurisdiction of a single State and the latter State shall cooperate to establish conservation and management measures in respect of those stocks in the high seas area. Having regard to the natural characteristics of the area, States shall pay special attention to the establishment of compatible conservation and management measures for such stocks pursuant to article 7. Measures taken in respect of the high seas shall take into account the rights, duties and interests of the coastal State under the Convention, shall be based on the best scientific evidence available and shall also take into account any conservation and management measures adopted and applied in respect of the same stocks in accordance with article 61 of the Convention by the coastal State in the area under national jurisdiction. States shall also agree on measures for monitoring, control, surveillance and enforcement to ensure compliance with the conservation and management measures in respect of the high seas. 2. Pursuant to article 8, States shall act in good faith and make every effort to agree without delay on conservation and management measures to be applied in the carrying out of fishing operations in the area referred to in paragraph 1. If, within a reasonable period of time, the fishing States concerned and the coastal State are unable to agree on such measures, they shall, having regard to paragraph 1, apply article 7, paragraphs 4, 5 and 6, relating to provisional arrangements or measures. Pending the establishment of such provisional arrangements or measures, the States concerned shall take measures in respect of vessels flying their flag in order that they not engage in fisheries which could undermine the stocks concerned. PART IV NON-MEMBERS AND NON-PARTICIPANTS Article 17

Non-members of organizations and non-participants in arrangements 1. A State which is not a member of a subregional or regional fisheries management organization or is not a participant in a subregional or regional

Fish Stocks Agreement

233

fisheries management arrangement, and which does not otherwise agree to apply the conservation and management measures established by such organization or arrangement, is not discharged from the obligation to cooperate, in accordance with the Convention and this Agreement, in the conservation and management of the relevant straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks. 2. Such State shall not authorize vessels flying its flag to engage in fishing operations for the straddling fish stocks or highly migratory fish stocks which are subject to the conservation and management measures established by such organization or arrangement. 3. States which are members of a subregional or regional fisheries management organization or participants in a subregional or regional fisheries management arrangement shall, individually or jointly, request the fishing entities referred to in article 1, paragraph 3, which have fishing vessels in the relevant area to cooperate fully with such organization or arrangement in implementing the conservation and management measures it has established, with a view to having such measures applied de facto as extensively as possible to fishing activities in the relevant area. Such fishing entities shall enjoy benefits from participation in the fishery commensurate with their commitment to comply with conservation and management measures in respect of the stocks. 4. States which are members of such organization or participants in such arrangement shall exchange information with respect to the activities of fishing vessels flying the flags of States which are neither members of the organization nor participants in the arrangement and which are engaged in fishing operations for the relevant stocks. They shall take measures consistent with this Agreement and international law to deter activities of such vessels which undermine the effectiveness of subregional or regional conservation and management measures. PART V DUTIES OF THE FLAG STATE Article 18

Duties of the flag State 1. A State whose vessels fish on the high seas shall take such measures as may be necessary to ensure that vessels flying its flag comply with subregional and regional conservation and management measures and that such vessels do not engage in any activity which undermines the effectiveness of such measures.

237

4. States shall assist each other in identifying vessels reported to have engaged in activities undermining the effectiveness of subregional, regional or global conservation and management measures. 5. States shall, to the extent permitted by national laws and regulations, establish arrangements for making available to prosecuting authorities in other States evidence relating to alleged violations of such measures. 6. Where there are reasonable grounds for believing that a vessel on the high seas has been engaged in unauthorized fishing within an area under the jurisdiction of a coastal State, the flag State of that vessel, at the request of the coastal State concerned, shall immediately and fully investigate the matter. The flag State shall cooperate with the coastal State in taking appropriate enforcement action in such cases and may authorize the relevant authorities of the coastal State to board and inspect the vessel on the high seas. This paragraph is without prejudice to article 111 of the Convention. 7. States Parties which are members of a subregional or regional fisheries management organization or participants in a subregional or regional fisheries management arrangement may take action in accordance with international law, including through recourse to subregional or regional procedures established for this purpose, to deter vessels which have engaged in activities which undermine the effectiveness of or otherwise violate the conservation and management measures established by that organization or arrangement from fishing on the high seas in the subregion or region until such time as appropriate action is taken by the flag State. Article 21

Subregional and regional cooperation in enforcement 1. In any high seas area covered by a subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement, a State Party which is a member of such organization or a participant in such arrangement may, through its duly authorized inspectors, board and inspect, in accordance with paragraph 2, fishing vessels flying the flag of another State Party to this Agreement, whether or not such State Party is also a member of the organization or a participant in the arrangement, for the purpose of ensuring compliance with conservation and management measures for straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks established by that organization or arrangement. 2. States shall establish, through subregional or regional fisheries management organizations or arrangements, procedures for boarding and inspection pursuant to paragraph 1, as well as procedures to implement other provisionsÂ€of this article. Such procedures shall be consistent with this article and the basic procedures set out in article 22 and shall not discriminate against non-members of the organization or non-participants in the arrangement. Boarding and inspection as well as any subsequent enforcement action shall

238

PART II

be conducted in accordance with such procedures. States shall give due publicity to procedures established pursuant to this paragraph. 3. If, within two years of the adoption of this Agreement, any organization or arrangement has not established such procedures, boarding and inspection pursuant to paragraph 1, as well as any subsequent enforcement action, shall, pending the establishment of such procedures, be conducted in accordance with this article and the basic procedures set out in article 22. 4. Prior to taking action under this article, inspecting States shall, either directly or through the relevant subregional or regional fisheries managementÂ€organization or arrangement, inform all States whose vessels fish on the high seas in the subregion or region of the form of identification issued to their duly authorized inspectors. The vessels used for boarding and inspection shall be clearly marked and identifiable as being on government service. At the time of becoming a Party to this Agreement, a State shall designate an appropriate authority to receive notifications pursuant to this article and shall give due publicity of such designation through the relevant subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement. 5. Where, following a boarding and inspection, there are clear grounds for believing that a vessel has engaged in any activity contrary to the conservation and management measures referred to in paragraph 1, the inspecting State shall, where appropriate, secure evidence and shall promptly notify the flag State of the alleged violation. 6. The flag State shall respond to the notification referred to in paragraph 5 within three working days of its receipt, or such other period as may be prescribed in procedures established in accordance with paragraph 2, and shall either: (a) fulfil, without delay, its obligations under article 19 to investigate and, if evidence so warrants, take enforcement action with respect to the vessel, in which case it shall promptly inform the inspecting State of the results of the investigation and of any enforcement action taken; or (b) authorize the inspecting State to investigate. 7. Where the flag State authorizes the inspecting State to investigate an alleged violation, the inspecting State shall, without delay, communicate the results of that investigation to the flag State. The flag State shall, if evidence so warrants, fulfil its obligations to take enforcement action with respect to the vessel. Alternatively, the flag State may authorize the inspecting State to take such enforcement action as the flag State may specify with respect to the vessel, consistent with the rights and obligations of the flag State under this Agreement.

239

8. Where, following boarding and inspection, there are clear grounds for believing that a vessel has committed a serious violation, and the flag State has either failed to respond or failed to take action as required under paragraphs 6 or 7, the inspectors may remain on board and secure evidence and may require the master to assist in further investigation including, where appropriate, by bringing the vessel without delay to the nearest appropriate port, or to such other port as may be specified in procedures established in accordance with paragraph 2. The inspecting State shall immediately inform the flag State of the name of the port to which the vessel is to proceed. The inspecting State and the flag State and, as appropriate, the port State shall take all necessary steps to ensure the well-being of the crew regardless of their nationality. 9. The inspecting State shall inform the flag State and the relevant organization or the participants in the relevant arrangement of the results of any further investigation. 10.â•‡The inspecting State shall require its inspectors to observe generally accepted international regulations, procedures and practices relating to the safety of the vessel and the crew, minimize interference with fishing operations and, to the extent practicable, avoid action which would adversely affect the quality of the catch on board. The inspecting State shall ensure that boarding and inspection is not conducted in a manner that would constitute harassment of any fishing vessel. 11.â•‡ For the purposes of this article, a serious violation means: (a)â•‡ fishing without a valid licence, authorization or permit issued by the flag State in accordance with article 18, paragraph 3 (a); (b) failing to maintain accurate records of catch and catch-related data, as required by the relevant subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement, or serious misreporting of catch, contrary to the catch reporting requirements of such organization or arrangement; (c) fishing in a closed area, fishing during a closed season or fishing without, or after attainment of, a quota established by the relevant subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement; (d) directed fishing for a stock which is subject to a moratorium or for which fishing is prohibited; (e) using prohibited fishing gear; (f) falsifying or concealing the markings, identity or registration of a fishing vessel;

240

241

vessel. Where evidence so warrants, the State may take such action as may be appropriate in accordance with international law. 18.â•‡States shall be liable for damage or loss attributable to them arising from action taken pursuant to this article when such action is unlawful or exceeds that reasonably required in the light of available information to implement the provisions of this article. Article 22

Basic procedures for boarding and inspection pursuant to article 21 1. The inspecting State shall ensure that its duly authorized inspectors: (a) present credentials to the master of the vessel and produce a copy of the text of the relevant conservation and management measures or rules and regulations in force in the high seas area in question pursuant to those measures; (b) initiate notice to the flag State at the time of the boarding and inspection; (c) do not interfere with the master’s ability to communicate with the authorities of the flag State during the boarding and inspection; (d) provide a copy of a report on the boarding and inspection to the master and to the authorities of the flag State, noting therein any objection or statement which the master wishes to have included in the report; (e) promptly leave the vessel following completion of the inspection if they find no evidence of a serious violation; and (f) avoid the use of force except when and to the degree necessary to ensure the safety of the inspectors and where the inspectors are obstructed in the execution of their duties. The degree of force used shall not exceed that reasonably required in the circumstances. 2. The duly authorized inspectors of an inspecting State shall have the authority to inspect the vessel, its licence, gear, equipment, records, facilities, fish and fish products and any relevant documents necessary to verify compliance with the relevant conservation and management measures. 3. The flag State shall ensure that vessel masters: (a) accept and facilitate prompt and safe boarding by the inspectors; (b) cooperate with and assist in the inspection of the vessel conducted pursuant to these procedures;

242

PART II

(c) do not obstruct, intimidate or interfere with the inspectors in the performance of their duties; (d) allow the inspectors to communicate with the authorities of the flag State and the inspecting State during the boarding and inspection; (e) provide reasonable facilities, including, where appropriate, food and accommodation, to the inspectors; and (f) facilitate safe disembarkation by the inspectors. 4. In the event that the master of a vessel refuses to accept boarding and inspection in accordance with this article and article 21, the flag State shall, except in circumstances where, in accordance with generally accepted international regulations, procedures and practices relating to safety at sea, it is necessary to delay the boarding and inspection, direct the master of the vessel to submit immediately to boarding and inspection and, if the master does not comply with such direction, shall suspend the vessel’s authorization to fish and order the vessel to return immediately to port. The flag State shall advise the inspecting State of the action it has taken when the circumstances referred to in this paragraph arise. Article 23

Measures taken by a port State 1. A port State has the right and the duty to take measures, in accordance with international law, to promote the effectiveness of subregional, regional and global conservation and management measures. When taking such measures a port State shall not discriminate in form or in fact against the vessels of any State. 2. A port State may, inter alia, inspect documents, fishing gear and catch on board fishing vessels, when such vessels are voluntarily in its ports or at its offshore terminals. 3. States may adopt regulations empowering the relevant national authorities to prohibit landings and transshipments where it has been established that the catch has been taken in a manner which undermines the effectiveness of subregional, regional or global conservation and management measures on the high seas. 4. Nothing in this article affects the exercise by States of their sovereignty over ports in their territory in accordance with international law.

ANNEX I STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COLLECTION AND SHARING OF DATA Article 1

General principles 1. The timely collection, compilation and analysis of data are fundamental to the effective conservation and management of straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks. To this end, data from fisheries for these stocks on the high seas and those in areas under national jurisdiction are required and should be collected and compiled in such a way as to enable statistically meaningful analysis for the purposes of fishery resource conservation and management. These data include catch and fishing effort statistics and other fishery-related information, such as vessel-related and other data for standardizing fishing effort. Data collected should also include information on non-target and associated or dependent species. All data should be verified to ensure accuracy. Confidentiality of non-aggregated data shall be maintained.

254

PART II

The dissemination of such data shall be subject to the terms on which they have been provided. 2. Assistance, including training as well as financial and technical assistance, shall be provided to developing States in order to build capacity in the field of conservation and management of living marine resources. Assistance should focus on enhancing capacity to implement data collection and verification, observer programmes, data analysis and research projects supporting stock assessments. The fullest possible involvement of developing State scientists and managers in conservation and management of straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks should be promoted. Article 2

Principles of data collection, compilation and exchange The following general principles should be considered in defining the parameters for collection, compilation and exchange of data from fishing operations for straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks: (a) States should ensure that data are collected from vessels flying their flag on fishing activities according to the operational characteristics of each fishing method (e.g., each individual tow for trawl, each set for long-line and purse-seine, each school fished for pole-and-line and each day fished for troll) and in sufficient detail to facilitate effective stock assessment; (b) States should ensure that fishery data are verified through an appropriate system; (c) States should compile fishery-related and other supporting scientific data and provide them in an agreed format and in a timely manner to the relevant subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement where one exists. Otherwise, States should cooperate to exchange data either directly or through such other cooperative mechanisms as may be agreed among them; (d) States should agree, within the framework of subregional or regional fisheries management organizations or arrangements, or otherwise, on the specification of data and the format in which they are to be provided, in accordance with this Annex and taking into account the nature of the stocks and the fisheries for those stocks in the region. Such organizations or arrangements should request non-members or non-participants to provide data concerning relevant fishing activities by vessels flying their flag; (e) such organizations or arrangements shall compile data and make them available in a timely manner and in an agreed format to all interested States under the terms and conditions established by the organization or arrangement; and

Fish Stocks Agreement

255

(f) scientists of the flag State and from the relevant subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement should analyse the data separately or jointly, as appropriate. Article 3

Basic fishery data 1. States shall collect and make available to the relevant subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement the following types of data in sufficient detail to facilitate effective stock assessment in accordance with agreed procedures: (a) time series of catch and effort statistics by fishery and fleet; (b) total catch in number, nominal weight, or both, by species (both target and non-target) as is appropriate to each fishery. [Nominal weight is defined by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations as the liveweight equivalent of the landings]; (c) discard statistics, including estimates where necessary, reported as number or nominal weight by species, as is appropriate to each fishery; (d) effort statistics appropriate to each fishing method; and (e) fishing location, date and time fished and other statistics on fishing operations as appropriate. 2. States shall also collect where appropriate and provide to the relevant subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement information to support stock assessment, including: (a) composition of the catch according to length, weight and sex; (b) other biological information supporting stock assessments, such as information on age, growth, recruitment, distribution and stock identity; and (c) other relevant research, including surveys of abundance, biomass surveys, hydro-acoustic surveys, research on environmental factors affecting stock abundance, and oceanographic and ecological studies. Article 4

Vessel data and information 1. States should collect the following types of vessel-related data for standardizing fleet composition and vessel fishing power and for converting between different measures of effort in the analysis of catch and effort data:

256

PART II

(a) vessel identification, flag and port of registry; (b) vessel type; (c) vessel specifications (e.g., material of construction, date built, registered length, gross registered tonnage, power of main engines, hold capacity and catch storage methods); and (d) fishing gear description (e.g., types, gear specifications and quantity). 2. The flag State will collect the following information: (a) navigation and position fixing aids; (b) communication equipment and international radio call sign; and (c) crew size. Article 5

Reporting A State shall ensure that vessels flying its flag send to its national fisheries administration and, where agreed, to the relevant subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement, logbook data on catch and effort, including data on fishing operations on the high seas, at sufficiently frequent intervals to meet national requirements and regional and international obligations. Such data shall be transmitted, where necessary, by radio, telex, facsimile or satellite transmission or by other means. Article 6

Data verification States or, as appropriate, subregional or regional fisheries management organizations or arrangements should establish mechanisms for verifying fishery data, such as: (a) position verification through vessel monitoring systems; (b) scientific observer programmes to monitor catch, effort, catch composition (target and non-target) and other details of fishing operations; (c) vessel trip, landing and transshipment reports; and (d) port sampling.

Fish Stocks Agreement

257

Article 7

Data exchange 1. Data collected by flag States must be shared with other flag States and relevant coastal States through appropriate subregional or regional fisheries management organizations or arrangements. Such organizations or arrangements shall compile data and make them available in a timely manner and in an agreed format to all interested States under the terms and conditions established by the organization or arrangement, while maintaining confidentiality of non-aggregated data, and should, to the extent feasible, develop database systems which provide efficient access to data. 2. At the global level, collection and dissemination of data should be effected through the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Where a subregional or regional fisheries management organization or arrangement does not exist, that organization may also do the same at the subregional or regional level by arrangement with the States concerned.

ANNEX II GUIDELINES FOR THE APPLICATION OF PRECAUTIONARY REFERENCE POINTS IN CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT OF STRADDLING FISH STOCKS AND HIGHLY MIGRATORY FISH STOCKS 1. A precautionary reference point is an estimated value derived through an agreed scientific procedure, which corresponds to the state of the resource and of the fishery, and which can be used as a guide for fisheries management. 2. Two types of precautionary reference points should be used: conservation, or limit, reference points and management, or target, reference points. Limit reference points set boundaries which are intended to constrain harvesting within safe biological limits within which the stocks can produce maximum sustainable yield. Target reference points are intended to meet management objectives. 3. Precautionary reference points should be stock-specific to account, inter alia, for the reproductive capacity, the resilience of each stock and the characteristics of fisheries exploiting the stock, as well as other sources of mortality and major sources of uncertainty. 4. Management strategies shall seek to maintain or restore populations of harvested stocks, and where necessary associated or dependent species, at

258

PART II

levels consistent with previously agreed precautionary reference points. Such reference points shall be used to trigger pre-agreed conservation and management action. Management strategies shall include measures which can be implemented when precautionary reference points are approached. 5. Fishery management strategies shall ensure that the risk of exceeding limit reference points is very low. If a stock falls below a limit reference point or is at risk of falling below such a reference point, conservation and management action should be initiated to facilitate stock recovery. Fishery management strategies shall ensure that target reference points are not exceeded on average. 6. When information for determining reference points for a fishery is poor or absent, provisional reference points shall be set. Provisional reference points may be established by analogy to similar and better-known stocks. In such situations, the fishery shall be subject to enhanced monitoring so as to enable revision of provisional reference points as improved information becomes available. 7. The fishing mortality rate which generates maximum sustainable yield should be regarded as a minimum standard for limit reference points. For stocks which are not overfished, fishery management strategies shall ensure that fishing mortality does not exceed that which corresponds to maximum sustainable yield, and that the biomass does not fall below a predefined threshold. For overfished stocks, the biomass which would produce maximum sustainable yield can serve as a rebuilding target.

UNITED NATIONS General Assembly Distr. GENERAL A/CONF.164/38 7 September 1995 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON STRADDLING FISH STOCKS AND HIGHLY MIGRATORY FISH STOCKS Sixth session New York, 24 July–4 August 1995 FINAL ACT OF THE UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON STRADDLING FISH STOCKS AND HIGHLY MIGRATORY FISH STOCKS I. INTRODUCTION 1. The United Nations Conference on Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks was convened pursuant to paragraph 1 of General Assembly resolution 47/192 of 22 December 1992 in accordance with the mandate agreed upon at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. 2. The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, held at Rio de Janeiro from 3 to 14 June 1992, adopted Agenda 21, paragraph 17.49 of which reads as follows: “States should take effective action, including bilateral and multilateral cooperation, where appropriate at the subregional, regional and global levels, to ensure that high seas fisheries are managed in accordance with the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. In particular, they should:” … “(e) Convene, as soon as possible, an intergovernmental conference under United Nations auspices, taking into account relevant activities at the subregional, regional and global levels, with a view to promoting effective implementation of the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks. The conference, drawing, inter alia, on scientific

260

PART II

and technical studies by FAO, should identify and assess existing problems related to the conservation and management of such fish stocks, and consider means of improving cooperation on fisheries among States, and formulate appropriate recommendations. The work and results of the conference should be fully consistent with the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, in particular the rights and obligations of coastal States and States fishing on the high seas.”1 3. The General Assembly, in its resolution 47/192, recalled Agenda 21, in particular chapter 17, programme area C, relating to the sustainable use and conservation of marine living resources of the high seas, and decided that the Conference, in accordance with the mandate quoted above, should take into account relevant activities at the subregional, regional and global levels, with a view to promoting effective implementation of the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks. The Assembly further decided that the Conference, drawing, inter alia, on scientific and technical studies by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, should: (a) identify and assess existing problems related to the conservation and management of such fish stocks; (b) consider means of improving fisheries cooperation among States; and (c) formulate appropriate recommendations. 4. The General Assembly also reaffirmed that the work and results of the Conference should be fully consistent with the provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, in particular the rights and obligations of coastal States and States fishing on the high seas, and that States should give full effect to the high seas fisheries provisions of the Convention with regard to fisheries populations whose ranges lie both within and beyond exclusive economic zones (straddling fish stocks) and highly migratory fish stocks. 5. By the same resolution, the General Assembly invited relevant specialized agencies, particularly the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, and other appropriate organs, organizations and programmes of the United Nations system, as well as regional and subregional fisheries organizations, to contribute relevant scientific and technical studies and reports. It also invited relevant non-governmental organizations from developed and developing countries to contribute to the Conference within the areas of their competence and expertise.

“The representative of the European Economic Community shall participate in the Conference in matters within its competence without the right to vote. Such representation shall in no case entail an increase of the representation to which the States members of the European Economic Community would otherwise be entitled.” In adopting the above rule the Conference recorded the following understanding: “This rule is agreed upon in view of the fact that, with regard to the conservation and management of the sea fishing resources, States members of the European Economic Community have transferred competence to the Community, and in no way does it constitute a precedent for other United Nations forums where a similar transfer of competence does not occur. (See Declaration of the European Economic Community upon signing the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Multilateral treaties deposited with the Secretary-General (ST/LEG/SER.E/10, p. 801).)” (A/CONF.164/6, note 1) The Secretariat was informed during the third session of the Conference that the European Economic Community had changed its name to the European Community.

PART IV

Index of Volumes I-VI

293

CONSOLIDATED SUBJECT INDEX OF VOLUMES I-VI Notes on the Index The index is designed for the reader’s ease of use, adopting the following modern indexing standards: • Substantive discussions of topics are indexed, whereas passing mentions are not. • Personal names of representatives to, or participants in, the relevant conferences are identified by country. • Many “see also” cross-references are included to guide readers to additional entries that may be of interest to them. For example, access to and from the sea is an issue that especially affects Landlocked States, so readers who look up “access” will find a crossreference to “Landlocked States”; readers who look up “data” will be directed to entries on specific types of data, such as geodetic data; and so on. • Multiple access points are provided for concept terms, because different readers will look information up in different ways. • W here treaties are known by two different names, both forms are given; thus readers can identify the treaty on the page regardless of which name is used. Such variants are double-posted or cross-referenced. • Many entries are broken down into three levels, allowing for finer detail, shorter strings of page references, and faster access to the needed information. • W herever possible, dates are included in entries for treaties, conferences, legal cases, and the like. age references are given by volume number and page number, in a spare, uncluttered • P style. For example, “I:338–39, 5:171–73, 273–74 refers to volume I, pages 338 to 339, and volume V, pages 171 to173 and 274 to 274. Note that the volume number is not repeated for subsequent pages from the same volume. • Subentries are phrased so as to show their grammatical relationship to the main heading. In subentries, “the Convention” refers to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982. Terminology in the text sometimes evolved during the course of the negotiation of the Convention. For example, “Sea-Bed” became “Seabed.” For the sake of simplicity and reader convenience, the most logical single representative “styling” was chosen for each term in the index. In the consolidated tables of treaties and cases, references are also to volume numbers and page numbers in the series, as is the case with the index.
