The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has developed an institutional Compliance Evaluation Procedure (CCEP). The CCEP aims to enhance CCAMLR's compliance enforcement capabilities by evaluating fisheries monitoring information, compliance control actions and CCAMLR Contracting Party (CP) cooperation. It appears to improve implementation of CCAMLR Conservation Measures (CMs) in meeting Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CAMLR Convention) objectives. The legal responsibilities of CPs are considered in relations to the CCEP's perceived performance in promoting responsible fishing within the CCAMLR Area. Various ideas on the CCEP's future are offered.
