The UN Member states have finally agreed to a legally-binding "high seas treaty" to protect marine life in international waters, a fragile and vital treasure that covers nearly half the planet, according to the UN news. After the UN passed this agreement, the UN chief Antonio Guterres said, "This action is a victory for multilateralism and for global efforts to counter the destructive trends facing ocean health, now and for generations to come".
