Book (stand-alone)Technical bookImplementation of Port State measures 2016The entry into force of the FAO Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing on 5 June 2016 reflected the successful culmination of global efforts to combat IUU fishing by setting harmonized minimum standards for measures to be taken at port. It targets IUU fishing and fishing related activities in support of such fishing, and its reach extends to areas within and beyond national jurisdiction. Many RFMOs and some countries hav e been active in preparing for entry into force, but the development and adoption of national implementing legislation has become imperative. At regional level, several RFMOs have adopted various requirements and minimum standards of the FAO Agreement in conservation and management measures (CMMs) that are legally binding on their members. In 2010, the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) adopted Resolution 10/11 on Port State measures that is almost identical to the FAO Agreement. Other RFMO CM Ms vary in the extent of implementation of its requirements, as described in this document. There is ongoing review and strengthening of the CMMs relating to Port State measures within many RFMOs, in part encouraged by their performance reviews. This document focuses on the implementation of two legal instruments - the FAO Agreement and IOTC Resolution – which, as noted above, are almost identical. Together, they are legally binding on a wide range of countries. At national level, the process of preparing for entry into force of the FAO Agreement, as well as implementation of relevant RFMO CMMs, has been challenging for many countries. The objective of this document is twofold: to meet those challenges by providing generic legislative templates for the development of national legislation; and to explain broader context of Port State measures. Legislative templates are provided for implementing the core and supporting provisions respectively; they are generic, and can be adapted to d ifferent legal systems, institutions and instruments. The core provisions are those implemented directly from the FAO Agreement, and as appropriate the IOTC Resolution, and the supporting provisions are those that relate to areas such as enforcement information and evidence. The latter reflect best practices and are important for backstopping aspects of the core provisions; they may already be in national fisheries legislation or may be used for strengthening existing provisions. Explanatory not es are given for each core and supporting provision. In order that the broader context of Port State measures can be better understood as national legislation is developed, this document also describes the development of Port State measures, a framework for national procedures and the role of RFMOs.

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookLegislar para promover la agroecología en la región de América Latina y el Caribe
Lineamientos para una ley modelo del PARLATINO sobre agroecología
2021Also available in:
No results found.Dentro de 30 años se espera que la población mundial ronde los 9 700 millones de habitantes. Para abastecer a la población, se prevé que se necesitaran el doble de los alimentos que hoy se producen. Se trata, sin lugar a dudas, de la mayor demanda de recursos en la historia de nuestra especie, la que además se da en medio de una crisis climática sin precedentes. El continuo crecimiento de la sociedad y de sus actividades productivas nos ha empujado a sobrepasar varios limites ecológicos. Las consecuencias de superar esas fronteras exigen repensar las estrategias para enfrentar los desafíos globales. En ese sentido, es fundamental promover medios de vida sostenibles que aseguren el bienestar actual y futuro de la humanidad. Para enfrentar los desafíos socioeconómicos, climáticos, ambientales y sanitarios de los sistemas alimentarios se necesita un cambio transformador con un enfoque multidimensional y holístico. La agroecología ofrece un enfoque holístico y multidimensional para llevar adelante una transformación que incluya principios ecológicos (eficiencia, diversidad, sinergias, reciclaje y regulación natural), así como principios de los ámbitos social, económico y político. El mundo parlamentario tiene la oportunidad invaluable de liderar una campaña que favorezca la transición hacia un sistema alimentario y agrícola sostenible. El Parlamento Latinoamericano y Caribeño (PARLATINO), con su capacidad de construcción de Leyes Modelo, y el Frente Parlamentario contra el Hambre de América Latina y el Caribe (FPH), con su liderazgo y experiencia legislativa sobre el derecho a la alimentación y la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, ostentan una posición inmejorable para abogar por la creación de este tipo de marcos legales en los países de la región. -
BookletCorporate general interestGeneral and food consumer price indices inflation rates
March 2023 update
2023Also available in:
No results found.Annual changes in global and regional consumer price indices (CPI) measure inflation rates of food and general consumer prices for a group of countries at different geographical scales: subregional (e.g. Middle Africa), regional (e.g. Africa) and global (all countries). The general CPI covers 204 countries, and the food CPI covers 200 countries worldwide. 22.1 percent of the observations for the food CPI and 9.2 percent for the general CPI are estimated. Country and regional consumer price indices are updated in FAOSTAT quarterly. This brief analyses the March 2023 update.
