Dr Tara Davenport, CIL Co-Head of the Oceans Law and Policy Team and rapporteur of the ILA Committee on Submarine Cables and Pipelines (“the Committee”), and Dr Danae Azaria, chair of the Committee, presented the Committee’s Third Interim Report during the open working session of the Committee that took place on 28 June 2024 and which was chaired by Jennifer Tridgell.  The Third Report focused on the international law that governs the measures that States can take in response to intentional acts of damage to submarine cables and pipelines committed by States and non-State actors in peacetime, and covered three substantive fields of international law, namely, the law of the sea, the law on the use of force and under international conventions governing terrorism.
