OPRF implements the project on "Research for Issues accompanied by the Extended Continental Shelf." This year the project focuses on "the post-recommendation phase," i.e. what kind of actions coastal State should take when it receives the recommendation by the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS). It may include not only the procedural actions such as the deposit of charts and relevant information with United Nations Secretary-General in accordance with Article 76 (9) but elaborating the national ocean policy such as how to explore the extended continental shelf and exploit its natural resources for prosperity of the States. We consider it of great significance. Therefore, OPRF will hold the International Seminar "Extension of the Continental Shelf and National Ocean Policy-lessons learnt from precedent cases of establishing the limits on the basis of recommendations -". We look forward to your attendance.
