Description
Solène presented her paper in the session dedicated to ‘Ocean and Environment’, discussing the role of non-user States in regimes regulating global goods and commons, here in particular high seas fish and whales as well as minerals in the Area. She demonstrated that these regimes vary greatly as to whether non-user States are allowed to join decision-making bodies.
In turn, even when given the option, non-user States have not joined all global goods and commons regimes equally. Finally, the consequences, in terms of sustainability, of regimes’ openness and growth are very nuanced. Solène concluded by highlighting that a different set of criteria to determine which States can qualify as ‘non-user States’ might lead to a better correlation with those States promoting a sustainability agenda.
