Dear IBRU-Members,
In connection with the continuing and significant contributions of the ICJ -
remaining in inter-active relationship with the ILC - to the development of
international law of the sea as codified and progressively developed in the
UNCLOS as a part of general international law and as a part of global system
of peace and security [at: http://www.un.org/Depts/los/index.htm &
http://untreaty.un.org/ola/ via: http://www.un.org/law/ ], I am enclosing
herewith a number of pertaining events and items.
Martin Pratt's email on the 2009 IBRU's 20th Anniversary Conference is
reenclosed below.
With kind regards,

Recently published - Contributions on the Law of the Sea and the
Necessity Defence
27 October 2008
A US State Department Legal Adviser John Bellinger Outlines His Support for
The Law of the Sea Convention in a Newly Published Speech
at: http://www.globalarbitrationreview.com/news/article/4879/ or
http://www.globalarbitrationreview.com/news/article/4879/recently-published-
contributions-law-sea-necessity-defence/ [via:
http://www.globalarbitrationreview.com]
John Bellinger delivered his speech, reflecting on four years advising
the US government, at a weekend organised by the US branch of the
International Law Association in New York this month.
In it, he says he made it a "priority to win senate approval for this
important treaty", which codifies the United States' "sovereign rights"
over all the resources of the ocean and the ocean floor up to 200
nautical miles from the coastline. These include valuable oil, gas and
mineral resources.
In addition the treaty guarantees military ships and planes freedom of
navigation, Bellinger notes.
Bellinger's speech, which also contains US lawyers' reaction to the
ICJ's Avena decision, is available at:
http://www.state.gov/s/l/rls/111049.htm
Elsewhere, a pair of academic papers look at the necessity defence and
whether arbitration could be imposed on international parties as a
default option.

Subject: [INT-BOUNDARIES] The State of Sovereignty - call for papers
deadline: 17 October
Dear Colleagues,
A reminder to those of you who are considering presenting a paper at
IBRU's 20th anniversary conference 'The State of Sovereignty', which
will take place in Durham on 1-3 April 2009, that the deadline for
submission of abstracts is now only two weeks away.
The central theme of the conference is the changing nature of
sovereignty in a globalising world, which encompasses a wide range of
issues that are of interest to members of this list, including
developments in boundary-making, border management and territorial
dispute resolution on land and at sea. The full call for papers is
available online at http://www.durham.ac.uk/ibru/conferences/sos &
http://www.dur.ac.uk/ibru/news/ and we hope that many members of the list
will consider contributing to the conference.
Abstracts of no more than 300 words should be submitted to
[log in to unmask] by Friday 17 October. We also welcome proposals for
panels of 3-4 papers on specific themes. We look forward to hearing from
you.
Best wishes,
m a r t i n
