“The Treaty Event was initiated by the Secretary-General in 2000, and its spirit is very simple - the Secretary-General invites head of state and governments and Minister of Foreign Affairs to seize the opportunity of their presence in New York to join multilateral treaties. It has been a huge success since then, with more than 2000 treaty actions.”

“We were extremely honored by the decision of states to open the treaty for signature on 20 September at our treaty event. Both the PGA and the Secretary-General call upon all states to consider joining the agreement at the earliest possible date to allow its entry into force. And we anticipate that many of them will do that on day one, on the 20th of September. We expect signature by a large number of states, including the presence of many head of states and governments.”
7. SOUNBITE (English) Vladimir Jares, Director of the Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea, Office of Legal Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat:
“The treaty is a very complex treaty. And do you know that in each country of your own, I mean national processes that are required? It's usually simple for signature but might be quite complex for the ratification, it needs to go through the parliaments.”
