Delegations will reconvene later to formally adopt the text.   <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; \">The statement issued by the UN Spokesperson said the Secretary-General also recognized the critical support of non-governmental organizations, civil society, academic institutions and the scientific community.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; \">\u201cHe looks forward to continuing working with all parties to secure a healthier, more resilient, and more productive ocean, benefiting current and future generations,\u201d the statement concluded. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; \">Reacting on Twitter, Csaba K\u0151r\u00f6si, President of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly, also congratulated the delegates and Ms. Lee for reaching consensus on a global legal framework for the high seas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; \">\u201cThis is a massive success for multilateralism. An example of the transformation our world needs and the people we serve demand,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; \"><b>Source:<\/b> UN News<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climate Change News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3503262,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[89,88],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3503323","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
