Description

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 resulted from bribery of foreign government officials by Lockheed Aircraft Company. This Act is designed to prevent the bribing of foreign officials in order to obtain foreign government contracts. Payments to foreign officials for â€œfacilitation,â€ often referred to as grease payments, are not prohibited under FCPA so long as these payments are made only to get officials to do their normal jobs that they might not do, or would do slowly, without some payment. These payments can be made only to secure a permit or license; obtain paper processing; secure police protection; provide phone, water, or power supply; or similar such actions.

Ratification: Next Steps and Resources While it did not result in the adoption of a treaty, the conference saw significant progress. Following a resumed session in March 2023 and conclusion of the BBNJ agreement, the High Seas Treaty was formally adopted by UN member states in New York on June 19, 2023.

The Cabinet meeting was held on July 02, 2024. The BBNJ Agreement, or the 'High Seas Treaty', is an international treaty under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). It aims to address the growing concerns over the long-term protection of marine biodiversity in the high seas.

The BBNJ Agreement was agreed upon in March 2023 and is open for signature for two years starting September 2023. It will be an international legally binding treaty after it enters force 120 days after the 60th ratification, acceptance, approval or accession.

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is the international legal instrument for "the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of its components and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources" that has been ratified by 196 nations.

The Agreement is open for signature by all States and regional economic integration organizations from 20 September 2023 to 20 September 2025, and will enter into force 120 days after the date of deposit of the sixtieth instrument of ratification, approval, acceptance or accession.

The United States did not ratify the CBD because of concerns that it did not adequately protect the intellectual property of U.S. corporations; could subject the United States to the authority of an international body, including with respect to natural resource management; and could impose financial costs.

The BBNJ Agreement becomes the third implementing agreement to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. This historic treaty will enable international efforts to protect biodiversity on the high seas, the ocean areas outside of national waters.A new global agreement provides a pathway for improved governance, conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in the high seas. The new High Seas Treaty addresses many of the governance gaps that have plagued the ocean, setting out clearer ways to conserve biodiversity in the high seas. In a new paper, scientists detail how the new High Seas Treaty can help protect marine species within the warming waters of a changing ocean. For the first time, United Nations members have agreed on a unified treaty to protect biodiversity in the high seas.
