The SSF Guidelines hope to promote a human-rights-based approach to fisheries development and management as well as the use of aquatic, coastal, riparian and lakeshore space. The vicissitudes of the process leading to the adoption of the SSF Guidelines, as well as various aspects of small-scale fisheries and fishing communities from a human-rights perspective have been extensively covered in SAMUDRA Report. This Dossier brings together the articles published in the journal that focus on the subject. It will be found useful for fishworker organizations, civil society organizations, policymakers, researchers and anyone interested in human-rights issues.
