Abstract

What was meant to be a Technical Consultation turned out, instead, to be a round of intractable negotiations and horse-trading between two apparently irreconcilable interest groups: distant-water and coastal fishing nations. Thanks to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the latter countries now have jurisdiction over 80 to 90 per cent of global fish stocks, while the former are increasingly being squeezed out of fishing altogether.
