Tóm tắt
Sau gần hai thập kỷ đàm phán, Hiệp định bảo tồn và sử dụng bền vững đa đạng sinh học biển tại các vùng nằm ngoài quyền tài phán quốc gia (Hiệp định BBNJ) được thông qua ngày 19/6/2023 với các quy định về nguồn gen biển, công cụ quản lý theo vùng, đánh giá tác động môi trường, xây dựng và chuyển giao công nghệ biển. Bài viết giới thiệu bối cảnh ra đời và nội dung cơ bản của Hiệp định BBNJ, từ đó phân tích một số lợi ích và trở ngại trong việc thực thi Hiệp định ở góc độ quốc tế và đối với Việt Nam. Hiệp định là một bước tiến mới của luật pháp quốc tế nhằm đẩy mạnh hợp tác bảo tồn đa dạng sinh học, nâng cao năng suất, hiệu quả quản lý và thúc đẩy công bằng, bình đẳng trong khai thác và sử dụng tài nguyên biển. Tuy nhiên, việc phê chuẩn, xây dựng quy tắc hoạt động cho các thể chế, hợp tác với các khuôn khổ hiện hành và nguồn lực tài chính sẽ đặt ra những thách thức lớn trong việc thực thi Hiệp định này.
