Proposal on Legal Advisory Consultant of NPFC
Agenda Sub-Group
TCC WP forwarded to FAC
In 2023, FAC05 discussed the necessity of a legal advisor based on the Working Paper prepared by the Secretariat (NPFC-2023-FAC05-WP13) but failed to reach an agreement. The Republic of Korea firmly believes that there are distinct advantages to the Commission having an independent legal advisor. We observe other RFMOs, including the WCPFC, effectively employing their own legal advisory consultants.
