Australian and New Zealand Perspectives on the Negotiations at UNCLOS III

In this moderated discussion, four former senior government legal advisers will discuss Australian and New Zealand perspectives on the law of the sea, drawing on their unique experiences in negotiating, applying and interpreting the Law of the Sea Convention over the last 40 years - from the negotiations at the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea and of subsequent fisheries, boundary and marine environmental protection treaties, to the challenges of domestic implementation and the settlement of law of the sea disputes through international courts and tribunals.
