Event Details

The conference programme is available to view here and a downloadable brochure is available here.

The British Institute of International and Comparative Law in conjunction with the Law Society of Northern Ireland is pleased to announce an event commemorating the 30th anniversary of the opening for signature of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ("UNCLOS").

UNCLOS, often referred to as "the Constitution of the Sea", now has over 160 States parties and is still attracting new ones. It sets the legal framework for all matters concerning the world's oceans, including navigation, piracy, maritime jurisdictional boundaries, continental shelf, living and mineral resources and protection of the marine environment.

This one and a half day conference will analyse the development of UNCLOS in its first 30 years and look ahead to the challenges of the future.

It will take place in the historic maritime city of Belfast in Northern Ireland and will bring together prominent UK and international experts in the field.
