Maritime Boundaries Workshop
The International Boundaries Research Unit of the University of Durham (UK), is organising a workshop on maritime boundaries. The event is to take place from 19th to 21st September 2011 in the Centre for International Law and the Faculty of Law of the National University of Singapore. Clearly defined maritime boundaries are essential for good international relations and effective ocean management, yet few coastal states have agreed all their maritime boundaries with their neighbours.
Part of the reason for this is that boundary delimitation requires a range of specialist legal and technical skills which are not always readily available to governments. Combining lectures, discussions and practical exercises, IBRU's most popular workshop helps participants develop the skills needed to achieve an equitable division of maritime space and clearly defined maritime boundaries.
IBRU is delighted to be partnering with Centre for International Law and the NUS Faculty of Law in organising its first training workshop to be held in Asia.
Tutors during this workshop are Prof Robert Beckman, director of the Centre for International Law, National University of Singapore; Mr Rodman Bundy, partner at Eversheds LLP; Mr Chris Carleton, head of the Law of the Sea Division, UKHO; Mrs Tara Davenport, research associate at the Centre of International Law of the National University of Singapore and Prof Martin Pratt, director of research at the International Boundaries Research Unit.
