UN/DOALOS: ICP-12

The 12th meeting of the United Nations Open-ended Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea (ICP-12) will be held at UN/HQ from 20-24 June 2011 and discussions will focus on “Contributing to the assessment, in the context of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, of progress to date and the remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development and addressing new and emerging challenges”.

An informal preparatory meeting was held on 9 March at UN/HQ where participants considered the draft format and draft agenda, as well as draft areas of concentration for the discussion panel. In particular, it is proposed that the panel segment on the overview of progress to date and the remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development concentrate its discussions on progress in specific relevant sectors such as sustainable fisheries, shipping, conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity, control of marine pollution, and marine science and transfer of marine technology.
