Popis: This paper highlights three major concerns pertaining to legal frameworks aimed at elimination of IUU fishing across the globe. First, gaps persist even among developed countries and there is room for improvement at national level and scope for cross-country exchange of experiences. Second, to avoid undermining its own efforts directed towards sustainable exploitation of marine resources, all states should be interested in supporting their counterparts in closing regulatory gaps in fisheries regulations. International collaboration can result in improved management of fishery resources in developing countries. Third, the adoption of best practices at a national level does not necessarily go hand in hand with introducing state-of-the-art measures at the regional level. States with well-developed national legal frameworks have an opportunity to have a positive impact on the development of conservation and management measures at the regional level, but the move towards best practice is slow.
