The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea is pleased to announce the capacity-building and training programme on dispute settlement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea for 2009-2010, which is organized with the support of the Nippon Foundation.

• Established in 2007, the programme has been developed to offer young government officials and researchers working in the field of the law of the sea or dispute settlement in-depth knowledge of the dispute-settlement mechanisms available to States under Part XV of the Convention.
• The programme will be offered to five (5) participants, three (3) of whom will come from developing countries.
• Lectures, case studies and training in negotiation, mediation and delimitation of maritime areas will enable participants to acquire a deeper understanding of the dispute-settlement mechanisms under the Convention.
• Study visits will be made to organizations dealing with law of the sea matters. Lectures will also be given on current issues of the law of the sea (fisheries, environment, climate change, delimitation).
• Interested candidates are invited to consult the website of the Tribunal at www.itlos.org, where they can find the necessary information. The candidates are requested to complete the “personal history profile and research proposal form” and the “nomination form” made available on the website.
