THE Foreign Affairs Ministry said yesterday that Sri Lanka deposited its Instrument of Ratification for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ Agreement) with the United Nations on Tuesday formally becoming a State Party to the convention.

The ratification of the BBNJ Agreement marks another milestone in Sri Lanka's continued legacy of leadership in ocean governance, the Ministry said.

Sri Lanka has played an instrumental role in international maritime governance, most notably through its leadership in the development of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

Sri Lanka actively engaged in the negotiation of the BBNJ Agreement since inception of discussions.
