If anyone is interested in issues concerning the South China Sea, including
the state, legal status and importance of its many coral reefs, there will
be a one-day conference on "The South China Sea: An International Law
Perspective" in Brussels, Belgium, on March 6, 2015. 

 

Attendance is free, but registration is required by March 1.
