On October 3, 2018, the so-called "Arctic Five plus Five" concluded the Agreement to Prevent Unregulated High Seas Fisheries in the Central Arctic Ocean (CAOFA, CAOF Agreement or Ilulissat Agreement). The CAOFA establishes a precautionary framework for the regulation of fisheries in the high seas of the central Arctic Ocean (CAO), including a temporary moratorium on unregulated commercial fishing. The purpose of this debate article is not to discuss the CAOFA's provisions on fisheries as such, but to take a look at a number of interesting and novel provisions concerning the interests of indigenous and local communities, particularly with respect to incorporation of indigenous and local knowledge into science-based fisheries management in the CAO.

Russia was the first Arctic coastal state to make an official submission to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) in 2001. The purpose of Russia's submission was the delineation of the outer limits of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles in the Arctic Ocean in accordance with UNCLOS Article 76. The area claimed by Russia is a large portion of the seabed extending even to the exclusive economic zones of Denmark and Canada. However, Russia's actions regarding delineation in the Arctic Ocean have led to criticism from several Russian experts in the field of international law. This paper is a response to a series of articles by Ivan Zhudro and Alexander Vylegzhanin. It argues against their assertion that Russia and the other Arctic states could have established the outer limits of their continental shelf in the absence of CLCS recommendations through the delimitation procedure in accordance with UNCLOS Article 83. The article rejects the argument that during the delimitation the Arctic states could have used meridian lines (sectors) to exclude the existence of an international seabed area in the Central Arctic Ocean. The author challenges the position that the result of delineation under UNCLOS Article 76 would not be fair since the US has not ratified UNCLOS.

"Den sjokkerende historien om hvordan CIA opererte på norsk jord. Like etter andre verdenskrig kommer en amerikansk forretningsmann med norske aner til Oslo. Han skal bygge opp CIA-organisasjonen i landet. Det første samarbeidet blir til i krigsårene. Under den kalde krigen vokser amerikanernes interesse for Norge radikalt. Stay Behind-våpenlagre opprettes, norske selskaper og institusjoner lar seg villig rekruttere til hemmelig etterretning. Med nærheten til Sovjetunionen er Norge en viktig lyttepost. Geir Jan Johansen forteller historien om CIA i Norge i sin fulle bredde. Her er en lang rekke sjokkerende avsløringer og ukjent materiale - fra jernteppet legger seg over Europa via U2-affæren og helt frem til 1990. CIA i Norge er boka for alle som er opptatt av en hemmelig del av moderne norsk historie - fortalt som en thriller."--Publisher description
