The draft treaty was signed on the evening of the 4th after two weeks of consultations at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
Drafting was a 20-year process.

It also includes environmental impact assessments that npre-determine the potential harm of commercial activities such as deep-sea mining, and commitments to share marine resources.
