Chosen justice question particularly relevant for the regulatory/policy framework (in the light of JUSTNORTH research, aimed at supporting future justice-focused research on Arctic governance):

Weighting values: Does the framework promote certain values and interests at the expense of others? Whose interests are being promoted? Is the framework trying to strike a balance, promote certain interests or obscure the tensions within society, including individual vs group/community/global community interests?

Inclusion and participation: Are all relevant stakeholders/rightsholders included in the governance/decision-making process and are there any important stakeholders who are excluded? 

Intergenerational justice: What implications does the framework have for future generations?

Environmental justice and ethics: What identifiable actual or potential environmental harms and benefits are governed by the given regulatory framework? How are they distributed?

International ocean governance is about managing the world's oceans and their resources together so that they are healthy and productive, for the benefit of current and future generations.
