Whose Ocean - Assembly 30 January 2025

The ocean is vital for life on earth and climate, yet its voice is rarely heard in law and political decision-making. It is completely unclear who is meant when bodies like the UN speak of 'our oceans'. It is also uncertain who has the right to lay claim to the ocean or represent it in international politics and law. This leads to problems in the case of, for example, deep-sea mining. How will the ocean's interests be served if it is unclear who to hold accountable for damage to its ecosystem?
