DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/72/72)\n\n\n\n	Fisheries provide a vital source of
	 food\, employment\, recreation\, trade and economic well-being for people
	 throughout the world. In a world of growing population and persistent hun
	ger\, fish has emerged as an important commodity for the achievement of fo
	od security. However\, efforts by the international community to ensure th
	e sustainability of fisheries are being seriously compromised by illegal\,
	 unreported and unregulated fishing activities.\n\n\n\n	According to the U
	N Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) illegal\, unreported and unregul
	ated fishing activities are responsible for the loss of 11–26 million to
	nnes of fish each year\, which is estimated to have an economic value of U
	S$10–23 billion. To curtail this impact\, Target 4 of Goal 14 of the Sus
	tainable Development Agenda adopted in 2015 by the UN General Assembly\, s
	pecifically urges the international community to “effectively regulate h
	arvesting and end overfishing\, illegal\, unreported and unregulated fishi
	ng and destructive fishing practices” by 2020.\n\n\n\n	Meeting this ambi
	tious target requires strong awareness-raising efforts to draw the attenti
	on of the general public to the negative impacts of illegal\, unreported a
	nd unregulated fishing activities\, an activity in which FAO has been acti
	vely engaged.\n\n\n\n	To promote long-term conservation and sustainable us
	e of fisheries resources the 1995 FAO Conference adopted the FAO Code of C
	onduct for Responsible Fisheries. The Code is voluntary and sets out princ
	iples and international standards of behavior for responsible practices wi
	th a view to ensuring the effective conservation\, management and developm
	ent of living aquatic resources\, with due respect for the ecosystem and b
	iodiversity.\n\n\n\n	In 2009 the FAO Conference adopted the Agreement on P
	ort State Measures to Prevent\, Deter and Eliminate Illegal\, Unreported a
	nd Unregulated Fishing. The Agreement is binding and stipulates minimum po
	rt State measures to prevent\, deter and eliminate illegal\, unreported an
	d unregulated fishing. It entered into force on 5 June 2016.\n\n
