CAMPOS, Aldino Santos de. The challenges of the Global Governance for the Ocean. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2020, n.66, pp.111-126. ISSN 1645-9199.  https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2020.66a07.

The Global Ocean represents our planet's life support system. It encompasses one of four Global Commons, the High Seas, and embodies the sum of all seas and oceans that are interconnected at a global scale. In turn, its governance is an issue that is still far from generating consensus. Although the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) determines its spatial configuration and regulates the components of the Ocean, this is not achieved globally, resulting in gaps in terms of its protection and sustainability. This paper highlights some of the major constraints and challenges regarding to Global Ocean Governance to be faced in the years to come.

Palavras-chave : governance; regime of the oceans; UNCLOS; sustainability of the marine environment.
