U.N. members adopt first-ever treaty to protect marine life: The U.N. chief hailed the historic agreement to protect marine life as giving the ocean “a fighting chance”
told delegates that the adoption of the treaty comes at a critical time, with the oceans under threat on many fronts.
Guterres said the treaty is vital to address these threats and he urged all countries to spare no efforts to ensure that it is signed and ratified as soon as possible, stressing that “this is critical to addressing the threats facing the ocean.” But Russia said it “distances itself from the consensus on the text of the agreement” which it called “unacceptable,” saying it “undermines the provisions of the most important acting international agreements, including the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea.”
