Hans Corell
, Counsel for the UN Office of Legal Affairs,
presented two reports, one that deals with the issue of drift-net pelagic
fishing and the other with the UN Conference on Straddling Fish Stocks
and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks. On the issue of drift-net fishing, he
said that the report of the Secretary General, as contained in document
A/49/469, is intended as a follow-up on activities inconsistent with
General Assembly Resolution 46/215. This document is intended as an
implementation report and will be followed by subsequent annual
reviews. In spite of the resolution, the document shows that drift-net
fishing is still being carried out.
