Abstract

ABSTRACT The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has addressed the management of biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction since its establishment under the 1980 Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CAMLR Convention). The development of a draft Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement) reinforces the significance of conservation oriented, ecosystem-based management in areas beyond national jurisdiction pioneered by CCAMLR. This paper explores the potential interplay between CCAMLR and the BBNJ Agreement, noting that while the BBNJ Agreement commits not to ‘undermine relevant legal instruments and frameworks and relevant global, regional, subregional and sectoral bodies’, it is likely to sharpen assessments of CCAMLR’s performance.

国家管辖范围以外地区的生物多样性:南极海洋生物资源养护委员会(CCAMLR)和联合国《国家管辖范围以外地区的生物多样性协定》

摘要南极海洋生物资源保护委员会（CCAMLR）自1980年根据《南极海洋生命资源保护公约》（CAMLR公约）成立以来，一直致力于国家管辖范围以外地区的生物多样性管理。根据《联合国海洋法公约》制定的《关于养护和可持续利用国家管辖范围以外区域海洋生物多样性的协定》（BBNJ协定）草案，加强了南极海生委倡导的以养护为导向、以生态系统为基础的国家管辖范围之外区域管理的重要性。本文探讨了南极海生委与《南极海洋生物多样性协定》之间的潜在相互作用，指出尽管《南极海洋生态系统协定》承诺不“破坏相关法律文书和框架以及相关的全球、区域、次区域和部门机构”，但它可能会加强对南极海生委员会业绩的评估。

期刊介绍： Antarctica and the Arctic are of crucial importance to global security. Their governance and the patterns of human interactions there are increasingly contentious; mining, tourism, bioprospecting, and fishing are but a few of the many issues of contention, while environmental concerns such as melting ice sheets have a global impact. The Polar Journal is a forum for the scholarly discussion of polar issues from a social science and humanities perspective and brings together the considerable number of specialists and policy makers working on these crucial regions across multiple disciplines. The journal welcomes papers on polar affairs from all fields of the social sciences and the humanities and is especially interested in publishing policy-relevant research. Each issue of the journal either features articles from different disciplines on polar affairs or is a topical theme from a range of scholarly approaches. Topics include: • Polar governance and policy • Polar history, heritage, and culture • Polar economics • Polar politics • Music, art, and literature of the polar regions • Polar tourism • Polar geography and geopolitics • Polar psychology • Polar archaeology Manuscript types accepted: • Regular articles • Research reports • Opinion pieces • Book Reviews • Conference Reports.
