  • Summary

    This chapter examines the collective interpretative practices of non-judicial actors, with a special focus on the One Ocean Hub. The One Ocean Hub is an inter- and transdisciplinary ocean research network that engages academic and non-academic stakeholders, including local decision-makers and representatives from international organizations, civil society, and affected communities, to co-develop mutually supportive interpretations of international environmental law, the law of the sea, and international human rights law. The interpretative practice of the One Ocean Hub related to the protection of human rights that are dependent on a healthy ocean is an example of collective interpretation whose authority comes from the expertise of the involved practitioners. The chapter examines how this expertise-based interpretation can be institutionalized under the law of treaties, with a view to embedding it in the work of relevant treaty bodies.
