A Preparatory Committee was established by UNGA res 69/292: Development of an international legally binding instrument under 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. FAO is involved in this prepcom. The ABNJ Deep Seas Project has produced an analysis and guide for the implementation of international legal and policy instruments relating to biodiversity and sustainable deep-sea fisheries in the ABNJ. This is useful information to prepcom discussions and the plan is to introduce the report at a FAO side event that will showcase the regional fishery bodies with mandates to manage deep-sea fisheries in the ABNJ, their processes and practices for protecting vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs).
