Abstract
This chapter offers a concise presentation of the role and contribution of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations, with regards to ocean governance, including from the perspective of the law of the sea, its implementation, and its further development. It focuses on the two other categories of actions and activities undertaken by the Organization which have a direct bearing on ocean governance. First, the development of a growing body of soft law and hard law through the negotiation and adoption of rules, norms, standards, and principles contained in a range of international instruments within the overall framework of the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. Second, the provision of an institutional framework through which these rules and standards, but also concrete measures, may be negotiated and adopted, both at the global and regional levels. Keywords:Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO); international law; ocean governance; United Nations
