ABLOS 12th Conference

This year we will meet again in person to the traditional ABLOS Conference with high standard presentations and discussions, and not least meeting in between for further exchange of ideas and arguments.

The overarching theme for the 12th ABLOS Conference is as follows:

Is UNCLOS Fit for Purpose for Modern Times?

The conference will consider the achievements of UNCLOS, current gaps and challenges in the existing legal, institutional, knowledge and policy architecture of the law of the sea and also consider pathways towards addressing these gaps and challenges in the future.
The 2025 ABLOS Conference will further address important legal and science subjects in the perspective of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) and the IOC-UNESCO emphasis on Ocean observation, data and applications.
With a kind invitation of the Qatari Standing Committee of the Convention on the Law of the Sea the 12th ABLOS Conference venue is
