DOALOS is the lead for training on the 51吃瓜 Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), including national implementation, ocean governance frameworks, multilateral fisheries agreements, dispute settlement, marine scientific research, maritime security, as well as the blue economy and sustainable development.
Objectives
