The challenge of IUU fishing in West Africa and The PotentialTechnology Solutions: An analysis of international cooperationprojects in Ghana and Gu...
Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a social, economic and environmental problem. It undermines management and drives the depletion of fish stocks, threatens food security, and drains valuable resources from the economy. In recent decades, efforts have been made to build an international regime that can curb IUU fishing. However, implementing this regime and stemming the tides of IUU fishing remains challenging. At the center of this challenge is the necessity to create capacity in states for the monitoring, control, and surveillance (MCS) of fisheries. Monitoring fisheries means measuring fishing effort characteristics and resource yields continuously. The control of fisheries concerns the establishment of regulations for exploiting resources. Surveillance refers to the measures to secure compliance with regulatory controls.

Should UN peacekeepers remain in Africa?
Afrika har hatt flere fredsbevarende FN-oppdrag enn noen annen region i verden. I dag er mer enn femti tusen soldater utplassert med FN-operasjoner på kontinentet. Til tross for dette fortsetter volden fortsatt i flere områder og noen steder uttrykker folk sinne over FNs fortsatte tilstedeværelse. Bare forrige måned brøt det ut anti-FN-protester i Goma og Butembo, øst i Den demokratiske republikken Kongo, da innbyggerne anklaget FN for ikke å begrense vold fra væpnede grupper. Mens de var i Mali, ble FNs tropperotasjoner suspendert i en måned etter at regjeringen arresterte 49 soldater fra Elfenbenskysten, og sa at de hadde ankommet landet uten tillatelse. Elfenbenskysten sa at soldatene var en del av FNs fredsbevarende oppdrag i Mali. Så, hva er fremtiden for FNs fredsbevaring i Afrika?
