Agreement for the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks, New York, 4 August 1995, United Nations, Treaty Series, vol. 2167, p. 3. The objective of the UN Fish Stocks Agreement is to ensure the long-term conservation and sustainable use of straddling and highly migratory fish stocks. The Agreement elaborates upon provisions of United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and aims to greatly improve the international management of fishing on the high seas. UNFA provides a framework for the conservation and management of straddling fish stocks and highly migratory fish stocks in high seas areas regulated by regional fisheries organizations. It provides for the obligation to use the precautionary approach and the ecosystem approach when managing these fisheries on the high seas. (c) all other fish stocks (with the exception of anadromous/catadromous stocks) that are to be found, both within the coastal State EEZ and the adjacent high seas - straddling stocks; (d) fish stocks to be found exclusively in the high seas - discrete high seas fish stocks [3]. Clearly, these categories are not mutually exclusive. Indeed, the text of UNCLOS III provides for the management of straddling stock and transboundary species of marine animals through the creation of these organizations.22 However, a closer analysis of the success-rate of RFO’s suggest, through collective action analysis, they do not work precisely because sovereignty and mare liberum prevent sufficient enforcement mechanisms, which are needed to create incentives not to overfish.
