NO With the passage of a general resolution in February of 2009, the United Nations General Assembly called upon the UN system to recognize the Caribbean Sea as a “special area within the context of sustainable development”. It is hoped that this “special area” designation will encourage the international community to demonstrate with even greater vigour their commitment to the protection of the Caribbean Sea and improved management of the use of its resources. This publication contains the texts of four legal agreements (the Convention and three Protocols) that have been adopted for the protection and development of the marine environment of the wider Caribbean region.
