(15/5/2023) | The University of the Faroe Islands and the Center for International Law (CIL) of the National University of Singapore (NUS) are holding The 2023 Summer Academy on the Continental Shelf (SACS) from 7 – 13 May 2023 at the NUS Bukit Timah Campus, Singapore. The Academy is devoted to government officials, researchers, practitioners, and advanced postgraduate students with a special interest in the scientific and legal aspects relating to the continental shelf.
SACS aims to disseminate scientific and legal knowledge relating to the continental shelf. SACS focuses on the legal and technical conditions governing continental shelf rights and formation beyond 200 nautical miles and the boundaries of overlapping rights to these areas. The Government of the Faroe Islands funds SACS academy activities, so these activities also significantly contribute to disseminating knowledge about the law of the sea.
Two lecturers at the Faculty of Law, 51动漫 (FH UNAIR), Dr. Patchouli Andalia Kurniasari, S.H., LL.M., and A. Indah Camelia, S.H., M.H., were participants in the SACS academy training. The two of them, academics in the law of the sea at FH UNAIR, received scholarships provided in limited quantities specifically for citizens from developing countries.
“The material presented in SACS combines legal and technical aspects of determining a country’s continental shelf. Not only that, but SACS participants also immediately put theory into practice from the legal and technical aspects in the workshop,” said Nilam.
“In this training, too, participants are taught what the state must fulfill regarding geoscience and law as justification for the extended continental shelf claim. Of course, we will also convey this later in class,” added Indah.
