CIL Director Professor Robert Beckman and CIL Global Associate Professor Clive Schofield presented ‘Defining EEZ Claims from Islands: A Potential South China Sea Change’ on 9 October 2014 at a public seminar organised by the Centre for International Law (CIL) in which they proposed that the claimants bring their maritime claims into conformity with international law in order to promote meaningful discussions on cooperation and joint development in areas of overlapping maritime claims. The seminar was moderated by the Chairman of CIL Governing Board, Professor Tommy Koh, and was attended by participants from the government, foreign embassies, business community and academia.
