Taking it to the top

While the Rainbow Warrior and crew are out on the coal face, and our team is on the ground in Nelson, we also have a team in New York negotiating the intricacies of the 'United Nations Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea'. The United Nations is after all where the power lies. Greenpeace and the Deepsea Coalition is asking for a global United Nations led moratorium on bottom trawling in international waters.

So, just as we did in 2004, we're going to the top... Watch this space for Karen's updates from New York!

You can read about our 2004 visit to the UN here and you can watch the webcast of Greenpeace campaigner Karen Sack's historic 2004 address to the general assembly here.
