This open invitation is for academics and students of ANU interested in the legal issues relating to law of the sea, statehood, and human rights. Professor Paparinskis will speak on recent sea level rise related legal developments in the International Law Commission and International Court of Justice (ICJ), where he was lead counsel for Latvia at the ICJ hearing Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change. He is interested to meet and dialogue with colleagues exploring migration, development, law of the sea, climate change in the Pacific, Australia and beyond.
