国际社会已承诺到2012年建立一个连贯的海洋保护区网络。这一网络也应扩大到国家管辖范围以外的地区，即公海和“区域”（国家管辖范围以外的海底和洋底及其底土）。本文考察了OSPAR在东北大西洋ABNJ建立海洋保护区的开创性努力。在这方面，OSPAR必须研究如何处理适用的国际治理和监管框架，最重要的是《联合国海洋法公约》（UNCLOS）和根据该公约运作的各种“主管”国际组织。这篇文章最重要的结论是，一个有效的制度，一般来说，并为整体海洋保护区在亚太保护区需要在全球和区域一级的互补行动。OSPAR的开拓性做法，如果认真执行- -除其他外，尊重其他全球和区域机构的权限- -可能对关于区域环境组织在管理ABNJ方面的作用的全球法律制度的发展产生决定性影响。
The international community has committed itself to establishing a coherent network of marine protected areas (MPAs) by 2012. This network should also extend to areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ), namely the high seas and the ‘Area’ (the seabed and ocean floor and the subsoil thereof beyond the limits of national jurisdiction). This article examines the pioneering efforts of OSPAR to establish MPAs in ABNJ in the North-East Atlantic Ocean. In that connection, OSPAR has to work out how to deal with the applicable international governance and regulatory framework, most importantly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the various ‘competent’ international organizations functioning thereunder. The article’s most important conclusion is that an effective regime for ABNJ in general and also for holistic MPAs in ABNJ requires complementary action at the global and regional levels. OSPAR’s pioneering approach may, if pursued carefully – among other things by respecting the competence of other global and regional bodies – have a decisive impact on the development of the global legal regime in respect of the role of regional environmental organizations in the management of ABNJ.
