Abstract

It had all the ingredients for a dramatic climax: a New York location, 150 diplomats and assorted delegates, over 50 diverse NGOs committed to a common cause, three weeks of impassioned talk and fervent debate, and even a spectacular sail-by of the renowned environmental vessel M.V. Green peace. In the end, it turned out to be a rather damp squib. There were no fireworks to remember at this UN Conference in July 1993, which was all about managing straddling and highly migratory fish stocks on the high seas.
