Popis: The principle of sustainable use of marine living resources is one of the fundamental principles of international law of fisheries management at the present stage. The inclusion of this principle in international treaties involves clear and specific international obligations in fisheries management. The article substantiates the existence, the stages of development, international legal fixation and the legal content of the principle of sustainable use of marine living resources. It is analyzed the activities and decisions of the UN General Assembly and FAO on the conservation of stocks of marine living resources and sustainable fishing in the oceans. Special attention is devoted to the fixation of the principle of sustainable use of marine living resources in the universal, regional and bilateral treaties. The examples of establishing this principle in the legislation of a number of States and the European Union are also considered.
