Dispute Settlement and the Law of the Sea

Lecture and Discussion

Dr. Ximena Hinrichs Oyarce
Deputy Registrar of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea

The Bucerius Alumni Group on Public International Law and the Bucerius Center for International Dispute Resolution cordially invite you to a lecture and discussion on dispute settlement and the law of the sea.

The law of the sea is a special part of international law and is governed by the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention. This Convention takes full account of the principle that States shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means. It provides, in its Part XV, for a special dispute settlement system and establishes the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea as an international judicial body to settle disputes concerning the Convention.

We are grateful that Dr. Ximena Hinrichs Oyarce, the Deputy Registrar of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, kindly accepted to be our speaker. The event will be followed by a reception with Pretzels & Wine.

Date: 6 March 2018, 6.30 pm – 7:30 pm
Venue: Bucerius Law-School, Room 1.15
