DELIMITATION OF MARITIME BOUNDARIES COURSE

The IMO International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI) wishes to bring to your attention its Course on Delimitation of Maritime Boundaries which will commence on 8 April 2021.

The delimitation of maritime boundaries continues to be a major source of friction between States due to maritime claims. In boundary-making, sensitive questions are raised in relation to State sovereignty, sovereign rights, jurisdiction, and title to valuable natural resources and economic activities- The IMLI Course on Delimitation of Maritime Boundaries is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to, and an analysis of, the boundary-making process and the alternatives available to States, including any provisional arrangements.

This Course would be of immense benefit to persons representing their governments in judicial and arbitral fora, in government departments involved in the drafting, review, and negotiations of boundary agreements or provisional arrangements, and private practitioners who handle such maritime claims. For these reasons, the course would be most suitable to legal officers of maritime administrations, lawyers, maritime practitioners, and foreign relations experts,.

At the end of the Course, a certificate of attendance will be issued.  

For more information, please see the attached document. Those wishing to participate shall contact Ms. Elda Kazara-Belja at admissions@imli.org for the relevant application form. The deadline for registration in the Course is set on 5 April 2021.
