[5/5] En juin 2025, la France annonce l’entrée en vigueur imminente du traité. Avec 55 ratifications confirmées, l’objectif des 60 est proche. Mais les États-Unis, bien que signataires, ne devraient pas ratifier. Un enjeu de gouvernance océanique mondiale. #HGGSP #geography #highseas #marinelaw

[4/5] L’accord BBNJ de 2023, signé par 134 États, veut protéger la biodiversité marine hors ZEE. Il prévoit de placer 30% des océans en aires protégées, de réguler l’accès aux ressources génétiques et d’assurer un partage équitable des bénéfices. #HGGSP #geography #highseas #marinelaw

[3/5] La Convention des Nations unies sur le droit de la mer (1994) étend le droit international aux ressources du sol et du sous-sol marins. Elle crée aussi un tribunal du droit de la mer, saisi en 2024 sur les obligations climatiques des États insulaires. #HGGSP #geography #highseas #marinelaw

[2/5] Dès 1956, l’ONU pose les premières bases juridiques sur la haute mer. La convention de 1958 garantit la liberté de navigation mais évoque déjà la pollution par les hydrocarbures et les déchets radioactifs. Une prise de conscience environnementale précoce. #HGGSP #geography #highseas #marinelaw
