Seminar: Wrecks as Environmental Risks – The Legal Framework

The Baltic Area Legal Studies (BALEX), in cooperation with the Finnish Environment Institute ‘Syke’, will organize a research seminar on the legal issues linked to sunken shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea and related hazardous waste dumped in the sea. The focus is on the rights and obligations of the various parties involved in these operations in cases which are covered neither by cultural heritage rules nor by the Nairobi Convention on wreck removal. The event takes place on 29-30 November 2017 in Helsinki, Finland. More information is available here.
