本文认为，孟加拉湾沿海国家在管理和养护该湾渔业资源方面很大程度上未能履行与其他国家合作的“义务”。合作义务见于适用的国际和国家文书，也被视为习惯国际法的规则。边缘国家未能与区域内其他国家有效合作监管海洋渔业，加剧了海湾地区非法、不报告和不管制（IUU）捕捞的问题。本文建议对该地区的区域海洋治理安排进行重大改革，这将有助于解决 IUU 捕捞问题，进而通过确保海湾海洋生物资源的可持续开发和保护来促进实现蓝色增长。该文章最后提出制定一项区域议程，以制定专门的计划来应对 IUU 捕捞问题。
This article argues that the Bay of Bengal coastal States have largely failed to comply with their ‘duty to cooperate’ with other States in managing and conserving fisheries resources in the Bay. The obligation to cooperate is found in applicable international and national instruments and is also regarded as a rule of customary international law. This failure of rim States to effectively engage with other States within the region in regulating marine fisheries has exacerbated the problem of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing in the Bay. This article recommends a major overhaul of the regional ocean governance arrangement in the region, which would help tackle IUU fishing and, in turn, facilitate the achievement of blue growth through ensuring sustainable exploitation and conservation of marine living resources in the Bay. The article finally moots for developing a regional agenda towards forming a dedicated scheme to deal with IUU fishing.
