On Thursday morning, delegates to the sixteenth meeting of the UN Open-ended Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea (Consultative Process or ICP-16) continued consideration of this year’s topic: oceans and sustainable development: integration of the three dimensions of sustainable development, namely, environmental, social and economic.

After a presentation from Miguel de Serpa Soares, Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs and UN Legal Counsel, on inter-agency cooperation and coordination, delegates continued the general exchange of views that began on Monday morning, and heard statements by countries, and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations.

Delegates also discussed the process for the selection of topics and panelists so as to facilitate the work of the General Assembly, and issues that could benefit from attention in future work of the General Assembly on ocean affairs and the law of the sea, including an update on the financial status of the Voluntary Trust Fund.
