47th Annual Conference on Oceans Law & Policy (COLP47)

The Annual Conference on Oceans Law & Policy (COLP) promotes interdisciplinary interaction with ocean-related legal and public policy issues at all levels, addressing international, national, regional, and State concerns. The COLP has developed current ocean-related topics of utmost importance to the international community through its latest edition.


This year, for the 47th Annual Conference, the U.S. Naval War College - Stockton Center for International Law, the World Maritime University - Sasakawa Global Ocean Institute (WMU-GOI), and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru are delighted to announce the first COLP in Latin America. It will be held in Lima, Peru and will focus on "Ocean Governance in the South Pacific and Latin America". With this, the conference seeks to honour the Latin American historical contribution to the law of the sea and ocean governance, while assessing current challenges and opportunities for the ocean.

The 47th Annual Conference on Oceans Law & Policy (COLP): Ocean Governance in the South Pacific and Latin America will be delivered in a hybrid fashion, where participants can join onsite in Peru as well as follow the conference virtually. Registration is required.
