Resumen
Descripción
Increasing concerns have been raised
about the sustainability of many fish stocks. A number of
international instruments, both voluntary and binding, have
been formulated to address this. Two important binding
agreements designed to adress this problem on a global basis
are the 1993 FAO Compliance Agreement and the 1995 UN Fish
Stocks Agreement. However, neither of these agreements has
yet entered into force. For some countries, particularly
smaller developing countries, the very complexity of the
task of transposing the provision of these agreements into
national law may itself be an obstacle to, or cause delay
in, becoming a party to them. the purpose of this guide is
to facilitate the ratification or acceptance of these
agreements in such countries. The guide provides an outline
of some of the most significant provisions of the two
agreements and a "toolkit" of the various
approaches that have already been used by those few states
that have already enacted national legislation to meet the
obligations and the objectives contained in these two agreements.
