In December 1982, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) was adopted and opened for signature in Montego Bay, Jamaica. This conference, hosted by the Faculty of Law, will look at the benefits that the Caribbean has derived from UNCLOS and discuss if it continues to be fit for purpose in today’s world – a world with imperatives for conservation and sustainable practices in our oceans and seas.
The conference is open to the public and will be an engaging event for anyone with an interest in law, international relations, climate change, trade, and marine affairs. It will be facilitated by international lawyer and diplomat Mr Eden Charles, lecturer in the Faculty of Law.
Mr Charles served as Chairman of the Preparatory Committee for the conclusion of a new international legally binding agreement under UNCLOS on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity beyond areas of national jurisdiction (BBNJ).
