Sustainable Fishery Systems
This book provides a comprehensive attempt to adopt an 'integrated' interdisciplinary approach to the study of fisheries. Fisheries are discussed as holistic 'systems', with emphasis on their structure, operation and dynamics. The book's interdisciplinary approach is applied to an analysis of problems faced in pursuing 'sustainable fisheries', with emphasis on six dominant themes: sustainability, uncertainty, complexity, conflict, fishing rights and the nature of management. Within this discussion, several major directions in current fishery thinking are explored, notably the precautionary approach, the ecosystem approach, co-management, and robust management for resilient fisheries.
Report of the Second Technical Consultation on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing
This document contains the report of, and papers presented at, the Expert Consultation on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing which was held in Sydney, Australia, from May 15 to 19, 2000.

These experts were also invited to prepare text for the preliminary draft of the international plan of action to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The preliminary draft international plan of action elaborated by the experts is appended to the Report of the Consultation. This preliminary draft formed the basis for initial discussions at the Technical Consultation on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing which was held at FAO Headquarters, Rome, from October 2 to 6 2000.--Publisher's description.

Report of the Working Party on Status and Trends of Fisheries, Rome, 30 November-3 December 1999
The Advisory Committee on Fisheries Research (ACFR) Working Party on Status and Trends of Fisheries met in Rome to consider how fishery status and trends reporting could be improved in terms of quality, scope and timeliness and better coordinated to allow a more systematic synthesis of information from national to regional and global levels. Owing to the importance of status and trends reports, and the scrutiny they receive, the Working Party recommended that the global system of status and trends reporting be advanced by: increasing completeness by including some fisheries and fishery resources that are currently under-represented; expanding the scope of current reports that are primarily on catch and fishery resource information to include other dimensions of fisheries; and enhancing quality assurance and credibility.
Immunity of International Organizations
Immunity rules are part and parcel of the law of international organizations. It has long been accepted that international organizations and their staff need to enjoy immunity from the jurisdiction of national courts. However, it is the application of these rules in practice that increasingly causes controversy. Claims against international organizations are brought before national courts by those who allegedly suffer from their activities. These can be both natural and legal persons such as companies.
