This objective can only be achieved through an international treaty, such as that currently negotiated by United Nations member countries, on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in waters beyond jurisdiction. national. Belgium and the United Kingdom having recently expressed their desire to protect at least 30% of the oceans by 2030, she asked him if France, which has the second largest maritime area in the world, will bring at least the same ambition to the United Nations.
