Mr. Luis Ricardo Paredes - who attended the last IATTC meeting (which failed to reach a consensus on a tuna fishing ban), explains why in his view the recent WWF USA Press Release "Who Will Save Pacific Tuna" wrongly appoints Colombia as the scapegoat for the failure of the IATTC to reach this important conservation decision. His extensive opinion gives a detailed account and insight in the IATTC decision making process - which partly takes place behind closed doors - and the complexity of negotiations within the tuna RFMO's.
