Report request: I am an environmentalist who is writing a position paper for the United Nations, which I hope might help to put an item on the agenda for the next meeting of the General Assembly.
I would like to have a report on the significance of the Antarctic Treaty in the 21st century.  I am looking both for details involving the treaty itself (e.g., new signatories) and for information about its practical application (e.g., on management of Antarctic ecotourism).  The report should include information about the regulation of activities on the continent of Antarctica, and the existence or resolution of disputes that implicate treaty provisions for continental Antarctica in any way,  I am not, however, interested in issues specific to Antarctic waters (although for this purpose I consider permanently frozen ice shelves that are attached to the continent to be a part of the continent).
