    "content": "countries having more advantage than the developing countries. We know that the high seas still have a lot of resources. It also talks about measures such as area-based management tools including marine protected areas for ensuring that we conserve and expand what we already have. It also talks about environmental impact assessments and capacity building and the transfer of marine technology that the Mover mentioned when he was talking about the Agreement. It also talks about cross-cutting issues such as establishing a funding mechanism and setting up institutional arrangement including the Conference of Parties and various subsidiary bodies, a clearinghouse, and a secretariat. Indeed, this is a very good Convention and I support it, but I am concerned about one thing. If we look at this Convention, and a lot of the things that are in it, the focus is very strongly on the high seas and the oceans. Sometimes we forget our internal waters. The Mover or the seconder commented that it is important that we domesticate by providing laws, once we ratify, that will speak to the same issues as what is contained here. I encourage the Committee that when they will be looking at those laws, nothing stops them from expanding into our internal waters specifically Lake Victoria."
