ASOC
Antarctic Governance
No one owns Antarctica or the southern ocean, but that doesn’t mean that the area is ungoverned.
Human activities are regulated by treaties and international organisations (Antarctic Treaty) and some govern maritime activities (IMO)
Antarctic governance entails both national and international work. Rules and regulations may be determined at international meetings, but are ultimately implemented by national officials and legislation.
ASOC participates as an NGO observer at important meeting. So CANNOT participate in decision making, but can represent position of the NGO community that is active on Antarctic issues.
