Judge James Kateka (Judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS)), a Member of the Tribunal since 1 October 2005, delivered a lecture on 27 April to the IMLI Class of 2020-2021 entitled ‘The Role of Ad Hoc Judges’ as part of the IMLI Specialized Course on Peaceful Settlement of Maritime Disputes, attended by 103 Government nominated participants from 75 countries. Judge Kateka was introduced by Professor David Attard (Director, IMLI), who expressed his delight to have him deliver a lecture at IMLI. He informed the participants that the lecture is an important one, considering the many questions sometimes raised on the role of an ad hoc judge. Professor Attard informed them further that Judge Kateka is the most suited to deliver such a lecture, he himself having served as one in several cases.
