REPUBLIC OF KOREA:
Wonil Cho stressed the need for the
mandate of the Conference to be carried out within the framework of
UNCLOS. The Chair"s revised draft should reflect greater balance
between the positions of coastal and distant water fishing States. The
sections dealing with new participants, compliance and enforcement, port
State jurisdiction, and the abuse of rights and enclaves should be
further improved during the upcoming sessions. He expressed concern
about the issue of arrest and detention by coastal States and port
States. The outcome of the Conference should be the formulation of
appropriate recommendations rather than a legally-binding instrument.
