"Fishing is a global industry, as is, inevitably, the illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) component. As we know, global cooperation is needed to combat IUU fishing. The oceans of the world are the common heritage of humanity, and their conservation is the common responsibility of humanity. I agree that a system of global ocean governance is essential for managing fisheries, especially on the high seas, and that the current approach is a clear failure. International agreements must be negotiated to ensure that the right to fish is conditional on minimum criteria relating to transparency of ownership, operations and catches and traceability of the product, etc., and that States not fulfilling their responsibilities lose their fishing rights. As a final note, many of the above recommendations would require significant resources to implement. Many developing countries would have difficulty in finding such resources, so means must be found for providing assistance. This is a common situation these days. However, such assistance should not be unconditional – failure on the part of countries receiving assistance should give rise to the same consequences as for other countries, such as a ban on exports."@en1
