handle is hein.journals/intlfddb22 and id is 493 raw text is: INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY BRILL LAW REVIEW 22 (2020) 487-512 I R N IJ H O F F brillcom/iclr Why Are Some Flag States Unable or Unwilling to Address iuu Fishing? Eve de Coning Senior Advisor, Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, Oslo, Norway eve@deconing.net Abstract This article is based on an analysis carried out by a group of experts from the North Atlantic Fisheries Intelligence Group into the flagging pattern of IUU fishing vessels. The article argues that the inability and unwillingness of some flag states to exercise due diligence to ensure that vessels on their register do not engage in IUU fishing may be explained by reference to the market demand and supply of ship registers that pro- vide shipowners with favourable conditions to limit costs and mitigate risks. Some of these ship registers are established and managed by foreign private companies on commercial outsourcing contracts on behalf of economically vulnerable governments, and some of these governments may as a result lack the knowledge, expertise and re- sources to effectively address IUU fishing of vessels flying their flag.
