The 7^th Seventh International Conference on the Law of the Sea (ICLS) is organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) and the Korean Society of International Law. The ICLS has been held since 2016 to discuss the latest trends and progress in the research on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and to provide a venue for the judiciary and academia to share their invaluable insights on ways to develop the law of the sea. This year’s conference theme was “Law of the Sea for the Next Generation: Effectiveness of UNCLOS Revisited.”

In Session 5 Voices of the Next Generation, Dr Dawoon Jung presented on “Offshore Renewable Energy Operations and the Protection of the Marine Environment”. Her presentation explored the substantive regulation of environmental challenges caused by offshore renewable energy operations within the UNCLOS legal framework.
