This course will focus on the impact of the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea and more recent supplementary agreements in the light of current State practice, seeking to identify, in particular, the extent to which its provisions have become part of customary international law in that area.

To develop their knowledge and skills, students will engage in a range of learning activities, giving students the opportunity to develop their communication skills and develop legal problem-solving skills by applying the law to hypothetical problem scenarios. The course is designed to advance and develop advanced legal research and writing skills.
