Fisheries and the right to food 2012, para. 50c

Párrafo
Paragraph text
[The Special Rapporteur has previously described the role that human rights impact assessments of trade and investment agreements can play in allowing countries to discharge their human rights obligations (see A/HRC/19/59/Add.5). Trade and access agreements in fisheries provide another such illustration. The above assessment of the potential opportunities and risks of such agreements (see paras. 29-32) may serve to identify the questions that should be asked in any impact assessment before the conclusion of an agreement by the coastal State. These are, for example:] Are measures in place to ensure that small-scale fishers are equipped to benefit from the opportunities created by trade agreements, in particular by improving their ability to comply with standards and their bargaining position vis-à-vis buyers?
