International arrangements for the uses of the ocean have been the subject of long debate within the United Nations since a speech made by Ambassador Arvid Pardo of Malta before the General Assembly in 1967. Issues in question include the method of delimiting the outer edge of the legal continental shelf; the spectrum of ocean arms control possibilities; proposals to create a declaration of principles governing the exploration for, and the exploitation of, seabed mineral resources with the promise that exploitation take place only if it “benefits mankind as a whole,” especially the developing states; and consideration of schemes to create international machinery to regulate, license, or own the resources of the seabed and subsoil. The discussions and debates began in the First (Political and Security) Committee of the 22nd General Assembly and proceeded through an ad hoc committee to the 23rd and 24th assembly plenary sessions. The creation of a permanent committee on the seabed as a part of the General Assembly's machinery attests to the importance members of the United Nations attribute to ocean problems. Having established the committee, they will be faced soon with the necessity of reaching decisions. The 24th General Assembly, for example, passed a resolution requesting the Secretary-General to ascertain members' attitudes on the convening of a new international conference to deal with a wide range of law of the sea problems.

Mineral Reserves

Characteristic of United Nations Framework Classification for fossil energy and mineral reserves and resources (UNFC-2009) as an universal system of mineral reserves/resources deposits evaluation in market conditions, is given. The UNFC-2009 ensures reporting on reserves / resources evaluation for all types of raw ma-terials, takes into account the influence of ecological and social factors and allows to maintain national termi-nology while ensuring its consistency with the international standards. The comparison with the Classification of Ukraine has allowed to establish that National classification is based on the same approaches to categorization of reserves/resources as the UNFC-2009 and all categories of mineral reserves and resources, which are used by Classification of Ukraine, find their analogues in the UNFC-2009 that not only allows to take into account the needs of the state, but also provides comparability of the statistical reporting on reserves/resources at an international level. The directions for development of the Ukraine Classification on the path to its further harmo-nization with the UNFC-2009 and other classification systems (CRIRSCO, SPE PRMS) are determined. The issues of development, promotion and support for the implementation of a global system that can be used as a tool for sustainable management of natural resources are highlighted. Priority is given to the development and deployment of the United Nations Resource Management System (UNRMS) based on the United Nations Framework for Classification of Resources (UNFC), including principles, specifications, guidelines, protocols (procedures and checklists) and best practices designed to promote the sustainable management of energy, raw materials and other resources.

Sir Frank Dixey, geological explorer, often unaided, of tracts of uncharted country in west, central and east Africa, pure and applied geomorphologist, a leading expert on hydrogeology, occupied a unique place in British science. In the last days of empire, when the Colonial Office began to take geology and mineral resources seriously, he became geological adviser to the Minister. In 1948 he was given the task of forming a Directorate of Colonial Geological Surveys and for twelve years he served as its first director. For twelve further years he was active as hydrologist for the United Nations Organization, and finally for the Government of Cyprus, achieving socially valuable results. He was deeply interested in the problems of the arid lands.
