Mr. Şahinol (Türkiye)
Turkey voted against resolution 65/37 entitled “Oceans and the law of the sea” under sub-item (a) of agenda item 74. I would like to recall that the reasons that have prevented Turkey from becoming a party to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in the past remain valid.

Mr. Berguño (Chile)
For my delegation, among the most significant points of resolution 65/38, which we have just adopted, are the reference to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and its relationship to the 1995 Fish Stocks Agreement; the emphasis on the obligations of flag States to ensure that vessels flying their flag comply with the conservation and management measures adopted with respect to fis…
Mr. Schuldt (Ecuador)
On behalf of the Republic of Ecuador, I wish to refer to an aspect of draft resolution 65/37, which we have just adopted, regarding biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction. The importance of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction is clear, and it is of significant environmental, social and economic importance. It can contribute to the development of science and impr…
The President
We have heard the last speaker in explanation of vote after the vote. May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 74 and its sub-items (a) and (b)? It was so decided.
