This is likely one of the most important developments in the law of the sea context over the last 40 years!
Biodiversity in Areas beyond National Jurisdiction (#BBNJ) has been a gap in #UNCLOS. Obviously, a lot depends on how this will be put into practice

Fishermen in the Ph get bullied in its own seas every day. There is the UNCLOS but the bully doesn't abide by it.

Strong signal that challenges #China's territorial claims in the #Southchina #Sea: "#Vietnam and #Indonesia agreed to delimit their respective Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) on 22 December 2022 after 12 years of negotiations. The agreement provides hope for the strengthening of the region’s commitment to international maritime norms and principles encapsulated in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (#UNCLOS)."

Gravely concerned at the blatant act of intimidation against 🇵🇭 coast guard. We stand by the #Philippines and call on #China as party of #UNCLOS to abide by the 2016 Arbitral Ruling. All steps towards a militarization of disputes is a threat to regional #peace and #security.

The prospect of harvesting resources on the #ocean floor has been one of the reasons why the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea was negotiated. Harvesting has been considered on the verge of breakthrough for five decades now, while administration through the International Seabed Authority has progressed slightly quicker. The potential of difficult-to-reverse damage to ecosystems has been known for longer but does not seem to faze investors.

Never mind the decision taken in 2016 by the #UNCLOS arbitration court, telling Beijing to forget about its #NineDashLine and its attempt to expand and militarize islands and reefs in the West Philippines Sea, also known as the East Vietnam Sea and the North Indonesia Sea.
Expansionist and brazen China needs to be held at bay.

"...prevent China’s growing wealth from being used to threaten its neighbours"
Nice idea Gideon, but how exactly do you propose this be done?
Remember the PCA's ruling in favour of the Philippines over the Spratlys and the ‘nine-dash line’ in 2016?
The PRC simply states that the Award "is null and void, and has no binding effect
on China" - and nothing changes.
They will not be held accountable.
We know.

Nope: The East Vietnam Sea, also known as the Northwest Filipino Sea or the North Indonesian Sea is NOT territory of #China. An arbitration court of #UNCLOS took a very different decision back in 2016.
For this reason the pilots of the #PLA are welcome to follow international rules of engagement and to not provoke dangerous incidents.
Nope: China is not a force of peace and stability in the region. It's expansionist and chauvinist. And it bets on brinkmanship to slice that salami.
