About
the reports
-
The annual reports
of the
Secretary-General
on the law of
the sea
have provided the
General Assembly
since 1984 with a
comprehensive
overview of
developments
relating to the
law of the sea.
These reports on
the law of the sea
have been
complemented
periodically by
Special Reports on
specific topics of
current interest,
e.g., marine
environment,
marine scientific
research, needs of
States, progress
made in the
implementation of
the comprehensive
legal regime
embodied in the
Convention, etc.
-
In
his current annual
reports on
oceans and the
law of the sea,
under the expanded
mandate contained
in General
Assembly
resolution 51/34
of
9 December 1996,
the
Secretary-General
provides a
comprehensive
overview of all
developments
pertaining to
oceans and the law
of the sea, in
particular the
implementation of
the United Nations
Convention on the
Law of the Sea,
including
activities of the
institutions
established by the
Convention. The
reports also serve
as reports on the
work of the
Organization, and
of the United
Nations system as
a whole, in the
field of ocean
affairs.
-
The
General Assembly
first explicitly
confirmed its role
as the global
forum competent to
review overall
developments
relating to the
law of the sea in
resolution
A/RES/49/28
adopted in
December 1994,
following the
entry into force
of the United
Nations Convention
on the Law of the
Sea.
-
In
addition to
general
information
concerning the
conservation and
management of
living marine
resources
contained it these
annual reports,
the
Secretary-General
prepares separate
reports on
particular issues
relating to
fisheries.
-
Since
1990, the
Secretary-General
has been reporting
on "Large-scale
pelagic driftnet
fishing and its
impact on the
living marine
resources of the
world's oceans and
seas".
-
Until
1994,reports on
fisheries
issues were
considered by the
Second Committee
of the
General-Assembly
under the agenda
item "Environment
and sustainable
development". As
from 1995, those
reports have been
considered
directly by the
General Assembly
under the agenda
item "Oceans and
the law of the
sea".
-
The
first report on
"Fisheries
by-catch and
discards and their
impact on the
sustainable use of
the world's living
marine
resources"
was transmitted by
the
Secretary-General
to the General
Assembly in 1995.
That report had
been prepared by
the Food and
Agriculture
Organization of
the United
Nations. In
addition, the
Secretary-General
provided his first
report on the
question of
"Unauthorized
fishing in zones
of national
jurisdiction and
its impact on the
living marine
resources of the
world's oceans and
seas".
-
In
1996, the
Secretary-General
began issuing a
consolidated
report on the
issues of
large-scale
pelagic drift-net
fishing;
unauthorized
fishing in zones
of national
jurisdiction; and
fisheries by-catch
and discards.
Prior to 1996,
fisheries issues
were addressed in
separate reports.
