Abstract

All over the world, the fisheries sector, among others, constitutes an essential component for achieving the right to food. According to a recent study by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) (“Right to Food and Fisheries”, Right to Food Studies, FAO, 2009, available at www.fao.org/righttofood), this sector represents the source of livelihood for 41 mn people, most of them living in developing countries. This is the reason why it is crucial to put in place responsible practices to promote sustainable fisheries.
