371.More information
Having imposed new practices of rampant jurisdiction in an attempt to pressure big fishery companies out of squandering the transzonal resources in the high seas contiguous to their Exclusive Economic Zone, Canada, Chile and Argentina got most U.N. member states to adopt an agreement on straddling stocks and high migratory fish species in August 1995. The agreement comes handy to sort out anarchic practices among competitors. It clearly favours coastal states as they can use the principles of compatibility and precaution to impose their views regarding the conservation and the exploitation of the biological resources concerned. The agreement can be regarded as an implicit endorsement of Canada's claims. Canadian laws provide for the use of force, which goes against the rules set by the international law. Caribbean nation-states, most of them LDCS still operating within their own EEZ boundaries, have no other choice but to devise ways to make the best of the new legislation in the foreseeable future. The odds are that, owing to the shortcomings of the world's legal new deal, they stand Utile chance of deriving any substantial advantage from it, for all the apparent benefit resulting from the implementation a "deep-sea fishing compensatory law".
