State responsibility for illegal, unreported and unrelated fishing and sustainable fisheries in the EEZ: some reflections on the ITLOS Advisory Opinion of 2015

Abstract: On 2 April 2015, the ITLOS delivered its first-ever Advisory Opinion on a request submitted by the Sub-Regional Fisheries Commission, a regional fisheries organization of seven West African States. The Advisory Opinion has invoked considerable excitement for its elaboration of the concept of ‘due diligence’ obligation in the UNCLOS context and their consideration of the issue of responsibility and the potential liabilities of flag States and their vessels operating in EEZ. This paper reviews and reflects on the Tribunal’s Advisory Opinion with particular focus on the flag States responsibilities and liability for illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing by vessels flying its flag, and the obligations of States to secure sustainable management of fisheries resources in EEZ. The Tribunal’s interpretation of the Convention in the Opinion has brought some clarity to the IUU regime that is inadequately addressed in the UNCLOS. The Opinion has the potential to strengthen international norms on IUU fishing and sustainable fisheries resources management.

Economic Reforms and Changes in Energy Consumption in India: A Structural Decomposition Analysis

Abstract: India's economic reform was initiated in mid 1991 by the Government of India. Some strategies for energy sector were adopted. This paper investigates the pattern of energy consumption changes during reform period i.e., 1991-92 to 1996-97and various factors responsible for these changes based on Input/Output model. Here we develop a Structural Decomposition Analysis. Six different factors have been identified here: (i) Technical changes, (ii) Changes in final demand structure, (iii) Changes in the interaction term of technical changes and final demand structure, (iv) Changes in energy exports, (v) Changes in energy imports, (vi) Changes in energy change in stock. Then we separate technical changes and final demand structure again, which explain the energy consumption changes. The most significant role as revealed from the empirical results have been played by the final demand structure, technical changes and interaction term between final demand structure and technical changes.
