Abstract: As contracting parties to the UN Convention, the ROK, PRC, and Japan have endeavoured to accept the UN Convention domestically as well as to develop their fishery relations with neighbouring countries. These measures must be a good basis to provide desirable management instruments for the conservation and management of fisheries resources in the region. In particular, laws and regulations prepared almost at the same time by the ROK and Japan use similar legal instruments and well reflect the spirit of the UN Convention. In addition, in order to reflect the UN Convention and resolve pending problems among coastal countries in the region, the 1965 the ROK-Japan Fishery Agreement and the 1975 Japan-PRC Fishery Agreement were basically revised and entered into force in January 1999 and February 2000, respectively, and the ROK-PRC Fishery Agreement was newly established and entered into force June 2001. Nevertheless, these agreements leave fundamental problems to be solved.
