<span style="font-size:12.0pt;letter-spacing:.3pt">The topic of sea-level rise in relation to international law is currently under discussion in the International Law Commission, which intends to conclude the topic in this year’s session. Professor Martins
Paparinskis, the ILC member from Latvia, is a member of the Commission’s Working Group on Sea-Level Rise and has participated in the discussion of legal issues relating to law of the sea, statehood, and human rights. He was also the lead counsel for Latvia
in the International Court of Justice advisory proceedings on Obligations of States with Respect to Climate Change, and argued the case in the Hague in December, also addressing sea-level rise in relation to statehood and law of the sea. Professor Paparinskis
will speak on recent sea level rise related legal developments in the ILC and ICJ.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
