John Kerry, a prominent figure in American politics, highlighted the ongoing failure to govern the high seas effectively in a recent interview. Despite the crafting of the High Seas Treaty, many countries have yet to ratify it, representing a significant setback in global governance of ocean areas. Kerry pointed out that without regulations, the high seas allow for illegal fishing, human trafficking, and other crimes, indicating a dire need for collective international action to preserve maritime environments and enforce lawful conduct on the oceans.
It's a global failure that, after all these years, we still have no laws governing a large proportion of our oceans.
The high seas are outside the jurisdiction of any country. And, as a result, there's extraordinarily outrageous behavior on the high seas.
