The International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) has for some time now been considering actions to address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ships engaged in international trade. It met for its seventy-second session (MEPC 72) from 9 to 13 April 2018, at IMO Headquarters inIMO Standard Marine Communication Phrases (SMCP) Book and CD.


Hence, its activities were to be confined to issues involving international shipping, in particular those concerning maritime safety and the efficiency of navigation.To provide machinery for co-operation among Governments in the field of governmental regulation and practices relating to technical matters of all kinds affecting international shipping engaged in international trade to encourage and facilitate the general adoption of the highest practicable standards in matters of maritime safety, efficiency of navigation and prevention and control of marine pollution from ships and to deal with administrative and legal matters related. The cumulative effect of this was to restrict the IMO’s areas of activity and to ensure that, when the Convention eventually entered into force on 17 March 1958, the IMO was effectively precluded from engaging in such matters. This led a number of states to register reservations or declarations together with their instruments of ratification. However, the twenty-one ratifications required by Article 60 2 to bring the Convention into force were slow in coming, due in large measure to the continuing concerns of some states that the treaty would lead to interference with their own national shipping industries and their domestic legislation, particularly in matters of a purely commercial or economic nature. Mindful of the concerns of many states that the institution might adopt an interfering role in matters they regarded as of domestic concern, the UMCC made it quite clear that the new institution was to be a consultative and advisory body to enhance cooperation amongst its members.The Convention for the creation of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) 1 was adopted at a diplomatic conference held in Geneva in 1948 under the auspices of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

These changes were given official recognition by the Assembly of the IMO in Resolution A.358(IX) IMCO had come of age and henceforth was not only to be known as the IMO but was also endowed with full capacity to develop and adopt regulations designed to secure the aims and objectives of the IMO, in particular, the safety of international shipping and the protection of the marine environment.So far, the IMO has developed over fifty conventions, nearly all of which are in force and which regulate not only safety and navigational matters but also matters such as the control of marine pollution from ships, liability and compensation, and maritime security. By 1975, it was clear that the IMO had outgrown not only its original name but also its function solely as a consultative body. However, the subsequent expansion of the IMO’s role was foreshadowed in Article 3(b) of its constitution, whereby it was to ‘provide for the drafting of conventions, agreements or other suitable instruments, and to recommend these to Governments and to international organizations, and to convene such conferences as may be necessary’.It became apparent over time that the IMO was playing an increasingly regulatory role. Article 3(c) of the Convention is similarly limited in what the IMO is entitled to do in requiring it to ‘provide machinery for consultation among members and the exchange of information among Governments’.
3) several have done so where this has fitted in with their national policy. States parties may nonetheless elect to apply these conventions to other vessels and Page Id: 2 References Convention on the International Maritime Organization (International Maritime Organization ) 289 UNTS 3, 289 UNTS 48 Main Text, Part II Functions, Art.3, (b) Main Text, Part II Functions, Art.3, (c) Convention on the International Maritime Organization (as amended by resolution A.724(17)) (International Maritime Organization ) 289 UNTS 3, 289 UNTS 48, UN Doc E/CONF.4/61, UN Reg No I-4214 Pt.I Purposes of the Organization, Art.1 Pt.I Purposes of the Organization, Art.1, (a) Pt.XVI Relationship with the United Nations and other Organizations , Art.66 (p. Nor do the IMO instruments purport to apply to inland waterway vessels or those operating solely within internal waters, which remain subject to national law. Accordingly, many of its conventions stipulate that they do not apply to warships or to other government vessels not engaged in international trade. In addition to these multilateral treaty instruments, the IMO has developed a host of so-called ‘soft law’ instruments, including codes, guidelines, resolutions, best practices and the like, which supplement its treaty framework and which are, in the main, widely observed and which have, in no small measure, made a positive contribution to global ocean governance.In line with Article 1 of the IMO Convention, the IMO does not purport to regulate all shipping activity but confines its regulatory activities to ‘international shipping engaged in international trade’.
3 The IMO’s relationship with UNCLOS is more fully explored by Dr Blanco-Bazan in Chapter 2 below, entitled ‘The IMO: Working within the UNCLOS Framework and Global Ocean Governance’.As a UN specialized agency, when developing treaties and other regulatory instruments, the IMO scrupulously operates within the UNCLOS framework. Since the designation in 1990 of parts of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef as the first particularly sensitive sea area (PSSA), some fifteen other PSSAs have been declared. Indeed, this Article is now recognized as providing the legal basis for states to establish a particularly sensitive sea area within their EEZs and also to establish the associated ‘special mandatory measures’ needed to protect the area. While, somewhat curiously, UNCLOS does not expressly mention the IMO by name in all but one of these provisions, there can be no doubt that they were drafted with the IMO in mind.So, for example, IMO member states bordering straits routinely present their proposals for sea lanes and traffic separation schemes (TSSs) in those straits to the IMO for approval in accordance with the requirements of Article 41(3) of UNCLOS similarly, coastal states proposing ‘special mandatory measures’ to prevent pollution in a ‘clearly defined area of their respective exclusive economic zones’ will present their case to the IMO in accordance with Article 211(6) of UNCLOS.
One example is to be found in dealing with the problem of piracy.
