Abstract The Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF Guidelines) introduce a human rights framework for fisheries management and development, suggesting an inclusive approach that embraces a range of rights, regimes and interests. These reflect diverse systems of law, values and norms, straddling both customary and statutory systems of governance and tenure. The interface between these different systems poses questions about the extent to which they are reconcilable with a human rights-based approach. The latter originates in the domain of transnational law, which has been increasing in scope and importance in recent decades. How transnational law interacts with and affects various law systems is an empirical question, to which much scholarly attention has gone. The normative question that emerges, however, is how to balance the recognition of universal human rights with respect for historically-evolved and locally legitimate, customary law in case of conflicts between them. This paper investigates some of the tensions and opportunities that arise in the meeting of the SSF Guidelines and customary socio-legal systems, paying special attention to four important fields of overlap and possibly contention: tenure, gender, child labour and markets. Co-management platforms are suggested to be the ideal meeting ground for negotiating acceptable hybrids and designing so-called interlegalities.

协调人权与习惯法:小型渔业治理中的法律多元化*

摘要 《保障可持续小规模渔业自愿准则》(SSF 准则)引入了渔业管理和发展的人权框架,提出了一种包含一系列权利、制度和利益的包容性方法。这些反映了不同的法律、价值观和规范体系,跨越了治理和保有权的习惯和法定体系。这些不同系统之间的接口提出了关于它们与基于人权的方法相协调的程度的问题。后者起源于跨国法领域,近几十年来,该领域的范围和重要性一直在增加。跨国法如何与各种法律体系相互作用并对其产生影响是一个经验问题,学术界对此给予了大量关注。然而,出现的规范问题,是如何在承认普遍人权与尊重历史演变和当地合法的习惯法之间取得平衡,以防它们之间发生冲突。本文调查了 SSF 准则和习惯社会法律制度会议中出现的一些紧张局势和机会,特别关注四个重要的重叠领域和可能存在争议的领域:权属、性别、童工和市场。共同管理平台被认为是协商可接受的混合和设计所谓的合法性的理想会面场所。本文调查了 SSF 准则和习惯社会法律制度会议中出现的一些紧张局势和机会,特别关注四个重要的重叠领域和可能存在争议的领域:权属、性别、童工和市场。共同管理平台被认为是协商可接受的混合和设计所谓的合法性的理想会面场所。本文调查了 SSF 准则和习惯社会法律制度会议中出现的一些紧张局势和机会,特别关注四个重要的重叠领域和可能存在争议的领域:权属、性别、童工和市场。共同管理平台被认为是协商可接受的混合和设计所谓的合法性的理想会面场所。
