本文的目的是分析拟议的关于保护和可持续利用国家管辖范围以外地区海洋生物多样性的新《联合国海洋法公约执行协定》与现行渔业法律框架之间的关系。它详细阐述了正在谈判的若干要素，即：海洋遗传资源、基于区域的管理工具，包括海洋保护区，以及环境影响评估。对这些因素中的每一个进行分析，并特别强调下列问题。首先，目前相关领域的法律现状是怎样的。第二，如何将渔业问题列入未来的条约；第三，它对目前的渔业管理框架有什么影响。文章最后指出了新条约可能带来附加价值的领域。然而，也提到了一些可能的挑战。它们特别涉及这样一个事实，即谈判的任务强调谈判不应“破坏现有的法律文书和框架以及有关的全球、区域和部门机构”。
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the relationship of the proposed new UNCLOS Implementing Agreement concerning the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction with the current legal framework concerning fisheries. It elaborates on selected elements that are under negotiations, namely: marine genetic resources, area-based management tools, including marine protected areas, as well as environmental impact assessments. Each of those elements is analyzed with particular emphasis being laid on the following issues. Firstly, how the current legal status quo in the relevant area looks like. Secondly, how the question of fisheries could be included in a future treaty and, thirdly, what bearing it could have on the current framework of the management of fisheries.The article concludes with the identification of possible fields where the new treaty could bring added value. However, some possible challenges are mentioned as well. They relate in particular to the fact that the mandate of negotiations underscores that they shall not 'undermine existing legal instruments and frameworks and relevant global, regional and sectoral bodies'.
