CIL Research Associate Dita Liliansa’s article entitled ‘Sea Turtles Protection in Southeast Asia: Linkages and Role of Soft Law Instruments in the Implementation of the Law of the Sea Convention’ has been published by the International Journal of Marine and Coastal Law, Volume 37(4) (2022).

In her article, she investigates the role of regional soft law instruments in the implementation of international obligations for the protection of the marine environment through a case study on the protection of endangered sea turtles and their habitats in Southeast Asia. She examines six non-binding instruments adopted within and beyond the aegis of the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and assesses the extent to which they provide means to implement international obligations under the United Nations Convention for the Law of the Sea Convention (UNCLOS).
