Concept Note:

GNLU Center for Public International Law has a legacy in organizing variousnoble events in the field of Maritime Law to disseminate knowledge amongvarious stakeholders. To further such gallant endeavour, GNLU is pleased toinform you that GNLU Center for Public International Law, is Organizing

GNLU International Maritime Academy 2016’ under the theme of maritimedevelopments, blue economy and the ocean governance. The Academy shallprovide reinforcement of knowledge, understanding and proficiency of Mari-time Law required to perform the responsibilities assigned to the seniorofficials, policy makers and shipping executives. The fluidity and complexityof the nature of maritime issues and interdisciplinary response to maritimesecurity officers require a deep understanding of the law of the sea, maritimelaw, policies and regulations. Modern ship-owners and operators, and vessel

officers are subjected to increasingly detailed and rigorously enforced environ-mental, security, safety, and political (embargo/sanctions) regulations andrequirements. The consequences of non-compliances can be catastrophic.The Academy offers participants the opportunity to meet like-minded profes-sionals in a sympathetic but nonetheless demanding academic atmosphere inwhich valuable professional knowledge will be gained and shared.

Blue Economy and the Oceans Governance hold key to achievement of mil-

lennium development goals as well as sustainable development goals. Whilethe oceans governance is largely regulated by the law of the sea regime, spe-cifically, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, blue economycovers areas beyond and within the oceans governance. The missions andworks of several governments and international organizations - United Na-tions and its Specialised Agencies, International Seabed Authority, Interna-tional Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, Indian Ocean Rim Association,AALCO bear direct significance to the issues and challenges posed by the

twin concept of blue economy and the oceans governance. While several mar-itime OECD states have taken a lead and have blue print before them, devel-oping coastal states of Africa, Asia and the Pacific are in need and finding ex-tremely important to fully realise the benefits of the ocean space for their pop-ulation. Laws, policy, practices, issues and challenges differ from state tostate, like any other international legal regime.
