Every two years the Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law and Governance (SCELG) organises a Guest Lecture that brings distinguished speakers to the University of Strathclyde. After the likes of Prof Tianbao Qin (Wuhan University), Prof Gabriel Eckstein (Texas A&M) and Prof Andre Nollkaemper (University of Amsterdam) it is now the time of Prof Malgosia Fitzmaurice, from Queen Mary University London. Prof Fitzmaurice is a leading International Environmental lawyer and will devote her guest lecture to discuss whaling as an unresolved issue, not only for international law, but also for ethics.

This event is part of the SCELG Festival of Environmental Law and Governance. To see other events in the Festival please visit the SCELG Festival webpage or contact scelg@strath.ac.uk for more information.
