Here is the review of ICCAT referenced in the NY Times article. And here is a salient excerpt:
The judgement of the international community will be based largely on how ICCAT manages fisheries on bluefin tuna. ICCAT CPCs’ performance in managing fisheries on bluefin tuna particularly in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea is widely regarded as an international disgrace and the international community which has entrusted the management of this iconic species to ICCAT deserve better performance from ICCAT than it has received to date.
For more interesting/depressing reading on ICCAT's bluefin tuna management efforts, check out pages 56-62 of the linked document.
