Public Lecture by Director of IMLI (International Maritime Law Institute) Professor David J. Attard (Malta)

On November 17, at 5-6 PM, within the course of “Maritime Security” led by the Deputy Director of the Global Maritime Operational Threat Response Coordination Center (USA), Mr.  Brian Wilson, the Director of IMLI (International Maritime Law Institute) Professor David J. Attard (Malta) will address the TSU students regarding the importance of IMLI’s programmes (LLM and others) to capacity-building in international maritime law.

IMLI graduates from Georgia are invited also to share their experience of studying at IMLI and subsequent participation in deliberations at international fora, especially at IMO, with potential Georgian candidates to pursue IMLI’s programmes.

IMLI trained high-level experts in international maritime law, both for the public and private sectors.    It was established in Malta back in 1988 under an agreement concluded between IMO (Intentional Maritime Organization, UN Agency) and the Government of Malta. Its main purpose is to train officers, principally for developing countries, in international maritime law, to contribute to the fulfilment of the IMO objectives promoting safe, secure, environmentally sound, efficient and sustainable shipping through cooperation.  

Professor David J. Attard is a Judge of ITLOS (International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea) since 2011 and currently possesses the position of Vice-Chairman of the Tribunal.

All interested students are welcome to participate.
