Abstract
The high seas—covering nearly half of the planet—have long remained one of the least regulated and most vulnerable areas on Earth.
With the adoption of the BBNJ Agreement under the United Nations framework, a new era of ocean governance has begun.
In Treaty of the High Seas, Pedro Quartin Graça delivers a comprehensive and accessible analysis of this historic treaty, examining its legal foundations, environmental objectives, and global implications.
This book explores:
The legal architecture of biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction
Marine genetic resources and benefit-sharing
The creation of marine protected areas in international waters
Environmental impact assessments
The geopolitical challenges of global ocean governance
Combining rigorous analysis with a clear narrative, this work is essential reading for anyone interested in international law, environmental protection, and the future of the oceans.
The high seas are no longer beyond reach—they are at the center of global responsibility.
