International Seminar "The Thirtieth Anniversary of the UNCLOS from the Perspective of the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf as its Organ"
Therefore, we will hold the International Seminar. The seminar is composed of two sessions. Two presentations in the first session will provide the overview of what the UNCLOS is and how its organs work to implement the Convention, especially how the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) fulfills its mandate. The second session is to consider the more practical aspects of the implementation of the UNCLOS, focusing on the practice of the CLCS. We look forward to your attendance.
