Suggestion 3: Invite regional, sub regional to consult and report[edit | edit source]
Provide that the decision making body should invite regional, sub regional to consult and report on conservation and management measures addressed through other agreements related to biodiversity in ABNJ.
References: UNCLOS Art 278 (cooperation among international organisations) UNFSA Art 9 (RFMO/As), Aarhus Convention. Art 5 (collection/dessimination of environmental information)
Suggestion 4: Setting up a regular reporting and review process[edit | edit source]
A regular reporting and review process could be set up whereby:
Parties and relevant regional or global bodies would report back regularly on the implementation of the instrument and conservation and management measures. These reports would be publicly available.
Input from the scientific committee, all relevant regional or global bodies, and stakeholders, including civil society, as well as information gathered through the global MCS system would be provided.
The review process would publish a progress report and identify any shortcomings by Parties, non-Parties, and regional or global bodies, affecting the effectiveness of the measures adopted by the instrument.
