Dr Alexandros Ntovas speaks at Stockton Center for International Law

Dr Alexandros X.M. Ntovas, Associate Professor of Maritime Law recently attended the Consultative Meeting for the Revision of the San Remo Manual On International Law Applicable to Conflicts at Sea, which was convened at the United States Naval War College and deliberated on 16–18 December 2019.

Dr Ntovas sat on the panel discussing Unmanned Maritime Systems in the Law of Naval Warfare and delivered his views on ‘Belligerent operational rights in Neutral Exclusive Economic Zones’, at the formal invitation from the Stockton Center for International Law.

The event brought together distinguished academic and government legal experts from around the world to discuss potential changes to the San Remo Manual Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea. The Manual is a legal restatement of the Law of Naval Warfare compiled by an international group of experts under the auspices of the Institute for International Humanitarian Law (IIHL) in San Remo, Italy. Originally published in 1995, the IIHL is pursuing an update to the manual reflecting changes in the law.
