The human rights impacts of fisheries subsidies is an underexplored theme. When observed through a human rights lens, it becomes clear that there are significant adverse implications from subsidy schemes that could have been avoided if more efforts had been invested in achieving policy coherence between fisheries subsidies, development commitments as outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and legally binding human rights treaties. This working paper aims to analyse the human rights impacts of fisheries subsidies by applying a human rights typology to the different types of subsidy schemes rather than the usual typology of beneficial, harmful or ambiguous subsidies. In addition, the paper provides three case studies to illustrate the dynamics at play in specific country contexts. Finally, this paper concludes with a series of recommendations to States, companies, intergovernmental organizations and civil society actors who each play a crucial role in ensuring that fisheries subsidies do not cause harm and rather promote the realization of human rights. Stakeholders are invited to share feedback and comments to this working draft, which will then be considered in the final editing of the paper. We hope that by putting out this draft paper now, it can contribute to generating discussions on the topic and serve as the basic for further engagement and action to promote a human rights focus in relation to fisheries subsidies by the WTO and other actors working on the topic.
