The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in October 2016. On this occasion, a one-and-a-half day international symposium will be held on 5 and 6 October 2016. One of the events is entitled “The contribution of the Tribunal to the Rule of Law” and its aim is to highlight the role played by the Tribunal over the last 20 years in the system for the peaceful settlement of law of the sea-related disputes set out in Part XV of the UNCLOS. The ceremony will occur at the Tribunal’s premises, as reported by the President of ITLOS here (paragraphs 33 and 34), followed the next day by a reception at the City Hall of Hamburg.
