Abstract

Is the Icelandic fisheries management system incompatible with the non-discrimination principle (Article 26) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights? Yes, says the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations in its views on a communication submitted against the Iceland State by Erlingur Sveinn Haraldsson and Örn Snævar Sveinsson, two professional Icelandic fishermen who have been fishing since their boyhood. The Committee’s Views were adopted on 24 October 2007 after taking into account all written information made available to it by the authors of the communication, and the State party.
