Despite covering two-thirds of the Earth’s surface, the sea is out of sight and frequently out of mind for most of us and yet what happens on and under the water matters to us all.
During this meeting, Commodore Rupert Wallace CBE uses his extensive practical and policy experience to show that there is remarkably little sovereignty or control of the world’s seas. By outlining the development of this historical lacuna and its associated legal framework, this lecture will focus on three critical and far-reaching consequences for the modern world and their impact on our daily lives and prospects: resource conflict, piracy and migration. Don't forget to register for the optional lunch after the lecture before Thursday 9 March 2023 at 12:30pm.
