AbstractThere has been increasing litigation in the WTO on environmental issues in recent years, much of it about fishing. Two cases,Chile–SwordfishandFaroes–Herring, brought to light the potential for conflict between trade and fisheries law through the imposition of port state measures by WTO members to prevent illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, although both cases were settled before reaching Panel stage. Port state measures aim to combat IUU fishing by allowing countries to close their ports to IUU fish. This includes using trade measures and trade-related measures, such as import bans and transshipment bans, which may violate WTO law. The potential for conflict is even more acute now that the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA) has come into force. This paper takes as its studyFaroes–Herring, where the Faroes challenged certain EU regulations aimed at preventing IUU fishing through the use of port state measures. It examines whether these regulations comply with WTO law, and makes recommendations as to how a Panel or Appellate Body can resolve this type of dispute. Specifically, it focuses on ways in which international fisheries law can be incorporated in this process to avoid a conflict between international trade and fisheries law.

Importer countries of Indonesian fishery products, such as European Union countries (EU) and the United States (USA), are very concerned about the treacebility of fishery products, which lead to some rejection of fishery products obtained from illegal, unreported and unregulated activities (IUU Fishing) in NZFPJ. Approximately 231 vessels, 121 of it are purseiners, conducted fishing operations outside permitted fishing areas and at least 42 vessels were moored outside their assigned fishing ports. Considering the number of violations, this study is aiming at formulating strategies to improve compliance level of fishing vessels. Data from the case study were analyzed using Strengths Opportunities Weaknesses Threats (SWOT) method and Quantitative Strategic Planning Management (QSPM). The results showed that strategies to improve the compliance of purseiners to fishing regulations in NZFPJ are by developing an integrated fishing vessel monitoring system with relevant agencies conducting law enforcement in the field of marine and fishery. In addition, reward and punishment scheme along with education for fishermen and businessmen are required to improve awareness. Lastly, there is need to provide facilities and training to support the monitoring activities. Keywords:       IUU fishing, NZFPJ, inspection.

Abstract This study is a brief reflection upon the features of the Central Arctic Ocean Fisheries Agreement with regard to indigenous stakeholders, and the potential effects of their uncritical inclusion in the broad interpretive and compliance paradigm known as illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Developed from a vulnerability perspective, the study highlights the need to take into account interdependencies between fragile ecosystems and vulnerable human communities. The authors formulate a normative pathway for the regulation of Arctic fisheries that explicitly integrates legal frameworks established for the protection of indigenous peoples and their rights, promoting a nuanced, legally informed and inclusive understanding of the IUU fishing paradigm.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak ekonomi akibat IUU fishing pada perikanan tangkap pelagis besar di WPPNRI 715. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian studi kasus dengan teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan multistage random sampling, metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah bioekonomi model. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Desember 2018 sampai dengan Agustus 2019 dan sampling pengambilan data di provinsi Sulawesi Utara dan DKI Jakarta. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa produksi legal ikan pelagis besar pada maximum economic yield (MEY) adalah sebesar 368.522,25 ton per tahun dengan effort sebanyak 554 902 trip per tahun dan perolehan rente sebesar Rp3,06 trilyun/tahun sedangkan produksi total (legal dan IUU fishing) adalah sebesar 530.451,63 ton per tahun dengan effort sebanyak 929 414 trip per tahun dan rente sebesar Rp6,73 trilyun/tahun. IUU fishing menimbulkan dampak hilangnya potensi perolehan rente ekonomi pada pemanfaatan sumber daya ikan pelagis besar di WPPNRI 715 yaitu sebesar Rp3,66 trilyun/tahun. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa IUU fishing merugikan perikanan tangkap pelagis besar di WPPNRI 715 sehingga diperlukan rumusan kebijakan dalam pengawasan sumberdaya kelautan dan perikanan berupa peningkatan kualitas sumberdaya manusia dalam bidang perikanan, penggunaan satelit pemantauan dan kebijakan peningkatan kesadaran dan penegakkan hukum di laut.Title: Economic Impact of IUU Fishing on Big Pelagic Fish in WPPNRI 715This research aims to determine the economic impact of IUU fishing large pelagic fish in WPPNRI 715. The research is a case study with multistage random sampling. Data were analysed with bioeconomics model for fisheries. The research was conducted from December 2018 to August 2019, and the sampling areas of data collection was in the provinces of North Sulawesi and DKI Jakarta. The results of the analysis showed that the legal production of large pelagic fish at maximum economic yield (MEY) is 368,522.25 tons per year with an effort of 554 902 trips per year, and economic rent at IDR3.06 trillions/year. The total production (legal and IUU fishing) is 530,451.63 tons per year with an effort of 929.414 trips per year and economic rent of IDR 6.73 trillions/year. IUU fishing has an impact on the loss of potential economic rent on the large pelagic fish resources in the WPPNRI 715 amounting to IDR 3.66 trillion/year. The results showed that IUU fishing has a detrimental economic impact on the large pelagic fish in WPPNRI 715. Therefore, a policy is necessary to increase supervision of marine and fishery resources by improving the quality of fishery human resources, the use of monitoring satellites and policies to increase awareness and law enforcement at sea.

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
