Context:
In 1999, the General Assembly decided to establish the United Nations Open-ended Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea (the Consultative Process) in order to facilitate the annual review by the General Assembly, in an effective and constructive manner, of developments in ocean affairs and the law of the sea by considering the report of the Secretary-General on oceans and the law of the sea and by suggesting particular issues to be considered by it, with an emphasis on identifying areas where coordination and cooperation at the intergovernmental and inter-agency levels should be enhanced (resolution 54/33).
The twenty-fourth meeting of the United Nations Open-ended Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea, in 2024, will, in its deliberations on the Report of the Secretary-General on oceans and the law of the sea, focus its discussions on the theme The ocean as a source of sustainable food.
We look forward to your active participation.
