Some functions receive much more attention than others; there was a lack of an integrated legal regime that would view forests in a holistic way, with due consideration to the full range of goods and services they provide. For example, the UNFF has identified at least 40 legally binding international instruments related to forests, of which six are protocols to framework conventions whilst another three are complementary stand-alone agreements to other framework conventions.<\/p>\n<p>By end of 2005 there was a political will to start negotiations to come to a comprehensive multilateral forest agreement to fill in the gaps. Although from a juridical perspective this was possible and perhaps desirable, many countries felt that a conclusion of a legally binding convention was no guarantee that the commitments would be carried out because it still depended on political determination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"VideoLecture-1\"  >\n<h2>Video Lecture<\/h2>\n<p>Please view the following voice-over-ppt presentations and videos for this topic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Module 2 Lecture 6 Part 1: Non-legally Binding Instruments (NLBI) and Global Objectives on Forests<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"kaltura_player\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.video.ubc.ca\/p\/113\/sp\/11300\/embedIframeJs\/uiconf_id\/23448209\/partner_id\/113?iframeembed=true&#038;playerId=kaltura_player&#038;entry_id=0_0wgais68&#038;flashvars&#091;streamerType&#093;=auto&amp;flashvars&#091;leadWithHTML5&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;sideBarContainer.plugin&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;sideBarContainer.position&#093;=left&amp;flashvars&#091;sideBarContainer.clickToClose&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;chapters.plugin&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;chapters.layout&#093;=vertical&amp;flashvars&#091;chapters.thumbnailRotator&#093;=false&amp;flashvars&#091;streamSelector.plugin&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;EmbedPlayer.SpinnerTarget&#093;=videoHolder&amp;flashvars&#091;dualScreen.plugin&#093;=true&amp;&#038;wid=0_vyloq1vk\" width=\"700\" height=\"425\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozAllowFullScreen frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a title=\"APFNet_Transcript-lecture 6-Part 1\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/apfnet03\/files\/2015\/09\/APFNet_Transcript-lecture-6-Part-1.docx\" target=\"_blank\">Transcript<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Module 2 Lecture 6 Part 2: National Measures to Contribute to the Global Objectives on Forests and National Forest Laws in Support of SFM<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"kaltura_player\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.video.ubc.ca\/p\/113\/sp\/11300\/embedIframeJs\/uiconf_id\/23448209\/partner_id\/113?iframeembed=true&#038;playerId=kaltura_player&#038;entry_id=0_4du1qhdu&#038;flashvars&#091;streamerType&#093;=auto&amp;flashvars&#091;leadWithHTML5&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;sideBarContainer.plugin&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;sideBarContainer.position&#093;=left&amp;flashvars&#091;sideBarContainer.clickToClose&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;chapters.plugin&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;chapters.layout&#093;=vertical&amp;flashvars&#091;chapters.thumbnailRotator&#093;=false&amp;flashvars&#091;streamSelector.plugin&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;EmbedPlayer.SpinnerTarget&#093;=videoHolder&amp;flashvars&#091;dualScreen.plugin&#093;=true&amp;&#038;wid=0_b4ey5lxc\" width=\"700\" height=\"425\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozAllowFullScreen frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a title=\"APFNet_Transcript-lecture 6-Part 2\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/apfnet03\/files\/2015\/09\/APFNet_Transcript-lecture-6-Part-2.docx\" target=\"_blank\">Transcript<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Module 2 Lecture 6 Video: WWF &#8211; The Beautiful Forest<\/strong><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"kaltura_player\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.video.ubc.ca\/p\/113\/sp\/11300\/embedIframeJs\/uiconf_id\/23448209\/partner_id\/113?iframeembed=true&#038;playerId=kaltura_player&#038;entry_id=0_fj76t30t&#038;flashvars&#091;streamerType&#093;=auto&amp;flashvars&#091;leadWithHTML5&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;sideBarContainer.plugin&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;sideBarContainer.position&#093;=left&amp;flashvars&#091;sideBarContainer.clickToClose&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;chapters.plugin&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;chapters.layout&#093;=vertical&amp;flashvars&#091;chapters.thumbnailRotator&#093;=false&amp;flashvars&#091;streamSelector.plugin&#093;=true&amp;flashvars&#091;EmbedPlayer.SpinnerTarget&#093;=videoHolder&amp;flashvars&#091;dualScreen.plugin&#093;=true&amp;&#038;wid=0_olhja8ng\" width=\"700\" height=\"425\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozAllowFullScreen frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<a title=\"APFNet_Transcript-lecture 6-video\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/apfnet03\/files\/2015\/09\/APFNet_Transcript-lecture-6-video.docx\" target=\"_blank\">Transcript<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"Readings-2\"  >\n<h2>Readings<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>United Nations.
