The Centre for International Law held its inaugural staff retreat on 31 March 2017, Friday. The retreat was opened by CIL’s Director Professor Lucy Reed and attended by close to 30 members of the CIL family. The discussions focused on the Centre’s future plans and work programmes in its core areas of research, namely Oceans Law and Policy, ASEAN Law and Policy, Investment Law and Policy, and International Dispute Resolution, and the Centre’s emerging areas of interest, which are Teaching of International Law in Asia and Nuclear Law and Policy. The day’s discussions were brought to a close by Professor Tommy Koh, Chairman of the CIL’s Governing Board, who commended the Centre for holding a successful and enjoyable staff retreat.
