To highlight the resolutions relevant to FishNET, a review of all the UN GA, CCPCJ, ECOSOC Resolutions from 2000-2019 was conducted. The content of these resolutions was reviewed to classify these in terms of their direct and indirect relevance to fisheries crimes. The resolutions that dealt directly with the trafficking of wildlife and protected species, the Law of the Sea and the international legally binding instruments that deal with IUU fishing, and the rights of indigenous peoples (of coastal countries) have been classified as resolutions directly dealing with fisheries crimes. The resolutions whose primary focus is overall institutional capacity building so as to promote effective crime prevention (whereas fisheries and wildlife crime have also been included), as well as those that deal with corruption (one of the primary facilitators of fisheries crimes in developing countries), have been listed as resolutions indirectly dealing with fisheries crimes.
