As stated by French President Emmanuel Macron on 9 June 2025, how many countries had ratified the High Seas Treaty by that date?
49
The correct answer is 49.
At the United Nations Ocean Conference held in Nice, France, French President Emmanuel Macron announced on 9 June 2025 that 49 countries had ratified the High Seas Treaty (the BBNJ Agreement on Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction). The treaty needs 60 ratifications to enter into force.
60 is wrong; that is the number of ratifications required for the treaty to take effect, not the number reached by 9 June 2025.
65 is wrong; the count had not crossed 60 at that date, so 65 is inaccurate.
55 is wrong; it overstates the actual figure announced by Macron, which was 49.
Hence, the number of countries that had ratified the High Seas Treaty by that date was 49.
