Updated 14 March 2008

    Pursuant to resolution 62/215, the Secretariat invited relevant intergovernmental organizations, the specialized agencies, funds and programmes of the United Nations engaged in activities relating to ocean affairs and the law of the sea, as well as funding institutions to, inter alia, submit information regarding their activities related to “maritime security and safety” for inclusion in the report of the Secretary-General on oceans and the law of the sea. In light of the restrictions on the length of the report, it is not possible for the submissions received in response to this request to be fully reflected in the chapter on maritime security and safety. However, in order to facilitate the discussions of delegations during the ninth meeting of the United Nations Open-ended Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and Law of the Sea, which will focus on the topic “maritime security and safety”, submissions have been reproduced below.
