In 1972 France and Canada concluded an agreement on their mutual fishing relations in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The agreement provided that, after the withdrawal from the Gulf of fishing vessels registered in metropolitan France in May 1986, a maximum of ten French trawlers registered in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, and up to 50 metres in length, could continue to fish in the Canadian fishing zone within the Gulf on an “equal footing” with Canadian trawlers. Canada having prohibited its own trawlers form filleting (processing into fillets) their catch within the Gulf, the question arose whether it could impose this prohibition on the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon trawlers.A three-member arbitral tribunal, composed of Donat Pharand (appointed by Canada), Jean-Pierre Quéneudec (appointed by France) and Paul de Visscher as President (appointed by both Parties), decided by two votes to one that Canada could not prohibit such filleting.What follows is a comment on the majority decision of the Tribunal, in particular as it relates to the right of Canada to regulate filleting and as to the interpretation of the “equal footing” clause. Reference is also made to the dissenting opinion. Both the majority decision and the dissenting opinion are reproduced in the languages in which they were written.

In this article, social work is presented as a practice of relational help and support, a profession of compassion. The concept of compassion was developed over the centuries, carried by the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages and taken up in the 18th century by philosophers and writers who brought humanity to reflect on social ties and solidarity. These reflections shaped the conceptualization of society.
