Abstract

This Legislative Guide should be used together with "A Diagnostic tool for Sustainable SmallScale Fisheries - advancing the implementation of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication in national policy and legal frameworks" (hereafter "SSF Diagnostic Tool"), also developed by FAO. The SSF Diagnostic Tool has been designed to facilitate the identification of national policy and legal frameworks relevant to small-scale fisheries and to conduct a preliminary assessment of how well the SSF Guidelines are already reflected in a country's fisheries policy and legislation (see also Chapter 3 below). This Legislative Guide is intended for use by the legislative bodies of states in general, individual national legislators, and those advising on legal reforms. It can also be useful to policymakers, public institutions, judicial authorities and local governments that contribute to designing and implementing fisheries-related legislation, as well as development partners including non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society organizations (CSOs) that work with small-scale fisheries communities and the broader communities they inhabit. Likewise, publicinterest law organizations can use this guide to advance the implementation of small-scale fisheries legislation in communities, or to use it to advocate for law reform. The regulatory bodies of the legal profession can also play a key role in mainstreaming the SSF Guidelines in the legal practice through awareness raising, continuing professional development, and dissemination of best practices. This guide may also be of interest to academia.
