昨日ざっと見たが、途上国が権利や利益を主張し、先進国がその基準について疑問を提示。そんな印象を受けた。 PSIDS Pacific Small Islands Development States という太平洋島嶼国のグループが主にニュージーランドの支持を受けて海洋の利益、権利を主張している。 いったいどのような実施協定になるのか？ 太平洋島嶼国の主張の一つがTraditional Knowledge。
ロシアがTraditional Knowledgeって管轄圏外とどのように関係しているの？て疑問をなげかけているけど、その通りだと思う。（下記、下線の部分）
他の国は、日本はどのように考えているのか？ Traditional Knowledgeが協定の残るのだろうか？
Traditional Knowledge: The G-77/China recommended including respect for traditional knowledge. PSIDS emphasized incorporating traditional knowledge in best available scientific information, drawing on the CBD Akwé: Kon Guidelines on socio-cultural and environmental assessments as a model; and providing financial assistance and capacity building for conducting EIAs. New Zealand supported reference to traditional knowledge, with the Russian Federation questioning how traditional knowledge could be applicable to ABNJ
