Greenpeace warned Monday that nations are \"once again stalling\" as they enter the final week of talks on the United Nations Ocean Treaty, a pact the environmental group says would \"safeguard marine life and be the biggest conservation victory for a generation\" if negotiators get it right. <\/p>
A new draft of the landmark treaty \"still contains major areas of disagreement,\" said Greenpeace, whose activists displayed a<\/a> large <\/a>banner<\/a> supporting the treaty outside United Nations headquarters in New York City on Monday. <\/p> U.N. members are gathered inside in an effort to draft a unified agreement on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of marine ecosystems located outside national boundaries on the high seas\u2014an area encompassing nearly two-thirds of the Earth's oceans. A previous round of talks on the treaty last year failed to produce an agreement<\/a>.
