Transmittal of Convention on Conservation and Management of High Seas Fishery Resources in the South Pacific Ocean in 2013
United States views on international law [1] in relation to Transmittal of Convention on Conservation and Management of High Seas Fishery Resources in the South Pacific Ocean: Also on April 22, 2013, President Obama transmitted to the Senate for its advice and consent the Conservation and Management of High Seas Fishery Resources in the South Pacific Ocean Convention. Daily Comp. Pres. Docs., 2013 DCPD No. 00266, p. 1. President Obama's message to the Senate follows.
Some Aspects of Transmittal of Convention on Conservation and Management of High Seas Fishery Resources in the South Pacific Ocean
I transmit herewith the Convention on the Conservation and Management of High Seas Fishery Resources in the South Pacific Ocean (the “Convention”), done at Auckland, New Zealand, November 14, 2009, with a view to receiving the advice and consent of the Senate to ratification. I also transmit, for the information of the Senate, the report of the U.S. Secretary of State on the Convention that includes an article-by-article analysis.
Developments
The Convention establishes a regional fisheries management organization through which Parties will give effect to their duty to cooperate in the conservation and sustainable use of the high seas fishery resources in the South Pacific Ocean and to safeguard the marine ecosystems in which these resources occur.
Details
The Convention requires Parties to apply specific conservation and management principles and approaches in giving effect to the objective of the Convention. These principles and approaches are enshrined in existing international instruments to which the United States is a party, such as the Agreement for the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of December 10, 1982, relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks of December 4, 1995. In addition, the Convention requires that Parties design and adopt specific conservation and management measures, such as limitations on catch or effort, time or area closures, and gear restrictions.
More
The Department of State, Department of Commerce, U.S. Coast Guard, and relevant U.S. stakeholders strongly support the Convention. The legislation necessary to implement the Convention will be submitted separately to the Congress for its consideration. I therefore recommend that the Senate give early and favorable consideration to this Convention and give its advice and consent to ratification.
