We investigate a limiting uniqueness criterion in terms of the vorticity for the Navier-Stokes equations in the Besov space. We prove that Leray-Hopf's weak solution is unique under an auxiliary assumption that the vorticity belongs to a scale characterized by the Besov space in space, and the Orlicz space in time direction. As a corollary, we give also the uniqueness criterion in terms of bounded mean oscillation (BMO).
