Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Objectives: The study proposed to verify whether BBNJ will impact the freedom of the high seas to lay submarine cables, guaranteed by UNCLOS Article 87(c). Methodology: A methodological strategy in the following expressions was adopted: research of an applied nature; whose problem was approached from a qualitative point of view and with an explanatory objective, made possible by bibliographic and legislation study.
Results: It’s necessary to expand the contribution of all the interested actors – States, public and private sector, in the construction of legislation. Just a holistic, integrated, and intersectoral approach to the management of marine ecosystems constitutes a way of managing marine resources that aim at their rational use to preserve the longevity of marine ecosystems and associated services, including the maintenance of the laying of submarine cables.
Contributions: This work sought to contribute to discussions about the harmony of the Common Heritage of Humankind' and Freedom of the High Seas' Principles, specially related to the critical infrastructure composed of submarine cables.
