| dc.description | The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) recently developed and adopted the Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (PSM Agreement), a landmark global legally binding instrument that strikes at the key reason behind IUU fishing – economic profit.This article is essentially an independent call to concerned persons and States to ensure the swift ratification of this vital Agreement and for the immediate implementation of its provisions for sustained action against IUU fishing. To this end, it examines the operative provisions of the Agreement and, where appropriate, illustrates them with examples of existing national legislation to demonstrate that the PSM Agreement provides the central framework necessary for effective national implementing legislation or that existing legislative provisions can be used to implement certain aspects of the P SM Agreement. The article then concludes by advocating that States quickly ratify and implement the PSM Agreement. The background to the negotiation and adoption of the PSM Agreement is set out briefly to provide a useful backdrop to the analysis and to emphasise the necessity for this global Agreement and its immediate implementation. | |
