Good job! Need more of this - better regulations, rather than a mindless "ban everything" approach.

Like all things done in the U.N. Nice on paper but it won't make a difference.

I'm sure Japan will find a way to weasel out of the clauses which stop it doing exactly what it wants to do.

Nations can also decide to apply the new rules to their own fishing fleets.

Does anyone seriously expect Japan to do this?

This should be part of the law, and not a choice.
