Programme Description

There are several legal instruments designed to regulate and promote cooperation in the maritime industry and addressing environmental issues in the maritime sector. These agreements bring together countries, organisations, and stakeholders from different regions and backgrounds to negotiate and establish common standards, best practices, and solutions for a wide range of issues.

This executive training programme follows the cycle of international agreements: from the drafting stage, promulgation, national implementation, and peaceful dispute resolution through mediation, conciliation, and arbitration, focusing on the fields of environmental and maritime cooperation.

Participants will gain insights into:
