The Effectiveness of the Decision-Making Machinery of CCAMLR: An Assessment
Francisco Orrego Vicuña · Palgrave Macmillan UK eBooks · 1991
Ever since negotiations began on the regime for the management of living resources in the Southern Ocean 1 , the issue of conservation strategies versus harvesting goals has been underlying all discussions on the effectiveness of CCAMLR 2 . At an early stage the question was raised of whether the proposed convention was intended as a conservation regime or as a fisheries arrangement of the kind which is common in the world. The objectives set out in Article II of the Convention settled the matter for the time being as the ecosystem approach and multi-species regulations 3 were generally hailed as both innovating in the international law of fisheries and satisfactory from the point of view of conservation aims pursued by some governments and a number of environmental organizations.
