LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Some countries won’t accept that the world’s oceans belong to everyone and their ‘egoism’ is holding up a global agreement on protecting these vast tracts of the planet, the United Nations chief charged Monday.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres didn’t say which countries he was referring to, but stressed the significance of the oceans to everyone on the planet. ‘International waters are ours,’ he said.
The U.N. chief was with senior officials and scientists from more than 120 countries attending a five-day U.
