It covers 114 legal instruments, categorized into the following seven themes: • Human Rights, Food Security, Women and Development • Environment and Sustainable Development • Oceans and Fisheries Management • Environmental Pollution • Fishing Vessels and Safety at Sea • Labour • Trade The handbook also includes the working of the instruments (decisionmaking bodies, monitoring and implementation agencies, periodicity of meetings, rules for participation in meetings of the decision-making bodies and implementation agencies for States and non-governmental organizations), regional instruments/agencies and follow-up. Apart from being a ready reckoner to the instruments, it highlights the important sections of relevance to fisheries/small-scale fisheries/fishworkers.
