Ocean law and policy underpins nearly all areas of the ANCORS research programme. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea lies at the heart of ocean law. ANCORS harbours one of the world’s largest concentrations of leading law of the sea researchers. Our experts work at the leading edge of global law of the sea developments, and at the vital interface between international law, domestic law, and policy. Our research delivers practical, up-to-date analysis and informs our advisory services to ocean law and policy developers and implementers in Australia, throughout the wider Indo-Pacific region, and globally.
