Webinar
One of the most important and pressing current global challenges is the issue of climate change and its adverse effects, namely those arising from rising sea-levels.
This phenomenon of sea-level rise presents challenges to many areas of International Law, such as those related to the law of the sea, statehood and the protection of persons affected by sea-level rise.
This webinar will discuss the specific issue of sea-level rise and its impact from the point of view of displacement, migration and human rights, an issue that is meriting attention both from the International Law Association (ILA) and the United Nations International Law Commission (ILC). In particular, it will look at the ongoing work of the ILC’s recently created Study Group on “Sea-level rise in relation to International Law”.
