The organising board said at a press conference on July 22 that there will be 20 speakers who are prestigious researchers in the fields of politics, international law and marine law from Russia, Japan, the Philippines, Australia, Belgium and Vietnam.
The workshop will have three sessions, focusing on the settlement of disputes via jurisdiction according to UNCLOS regulations and by arbitration procedures established at Appendix VII of the UNCLOS, as well as the influence of the Philippines’ lawsuit against China on countries in the region and the world.
According to Rector of the HCM City University of Law Mai Hong Quy and head of the organising board, the participants are expected to concentrate on legal matters relating to the process, procedures, authority, and the value of the ruling of the PCA in the Philippines’ lawsuit against China on July 12.
