Abstract

Abstract This article explores the dispute settlement provisions of the New Agreement for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biodiversity beyond National Jurisdiction (the bbnj Agreement). The history of the discussions behind many of the key features of article 60, are explained. These included whether to allow compulsory dispute settlement, exclusions from jurisdiction and how non-Parties to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (unclos) would be covered. The article concludes with some possible issues that may arise when the articles are put into practice.
