Registration from 5:30 pmEvery 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.
The event will be of interest to international law scholars, researchers and students alike. It will also be of interest to media and colleagues interested in animal welfare and marine biodiversity.
The SCELG Biannual Guest Lecture has always been one of the highlights of SCELG’s calendar. It is an opportunity to learn from world-renowned experts in their field. This year participants will learn more about how whaling is regulated by international law and the dilemmas this may pose from an ethical and policy perspective.
