Nicaragua Becomes 101st WTO Member to Accept Fisheries Subsidies Agreement:
Nicaragua became the 101st member of the World Trade Organization (WTO) to formally accept the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, marking a significant step toward global efforts to combat harmful fishing practices and restore marine biodiversity. The instrument of acceptance was handed over to WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala by Nicaragua’s Ambassador Rosalía Bohorquez Palacios, bringing the WTO just 10 acceptances away from the threshold required for the agreement’s entry into force.
