Seventh International Conference on the Law of the Sea

Seventh International Conference on the Law of the Sea
Nov. 15-17, 2022 | Seoul, Republic of Korea
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be hosting the Seventh International Conference on the Law of the Sea from November 15 to 17, 2022 together with the Korean Society of International Law and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS). The International Conference on the Law of the Sea has been held since 2016 to discuss the latest trends and progress in the research on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and to provide a venue for the judiciary and academia to share their invaluable insights on ways to develop the law of the sea.
This year, the conference will be held under the theme of “Law of the Sea for the Next Generation: Effectiveness of UNCLOS Revisited.” It is the second of the three-year “Law of the Sea for the Next Generation” series, which is designed to take stock of the challenges presented at sea and explore what lies ahead for the law of the sea for the next generation. The objective of this year’s conference is to review the judicial decisions made under the UNCLOS regime, look into whether UNCLOS has been effective enough to ensure the rule of law in the ocean, and discuss how the law of the sea should evolve to keep the rule of law working in our oceans.
