     Abstract

     According to the High Seas Alliance, on 24 December 2017, the UN General Assembly adopted
by consensus Resolution 72/249, to convene an intergovernmental conference and undertake formal
negotiations for a new legally binding international instrument under the UN Convention on Law of
the Sea, for the conservation and sustainable development of marine biological diversity in areas
beyond  national jurisdiction. In this way, the common heritage of humanity has a good chance of
being protected and secured, the convention being in fact the arm which has the noble role of saving
it from danger. When  will it be signed? How will it be implemented? Will its noble purpose
overcome  the blockages of financial interests? These are questions to be answered by the legal
doctrine and practice of the future. To create this article, I used a research method based on
introspection and quantitative analysis of the documents related to the rounds of negotiations, by
reference to international law.

     Keywords:  treaty, marine biodiversity, environment, UNCLOS.

     JEL Codes: K33, Q57.
