We are starting! An auditorium full of people as Prof. Papanicolopulu kicks off with welcoming speech!

Prof Barnes Richard Barnes opening the first session with thought provoking reflections on #jurisdiction in the #lawofthesea 'jurisdiction exists because the State wants security or wants resources'

After prof Barnes Richard Barnes making the point that jurisdiction in the law of the sea tends to be described as focusing on powers and entitlements as opposed to responsibility, we continue with prof Seck @SaraSeck and her work on 'relational Jurisdiction at sea'

To what extent does the general law of jurisdiction inform human rights jurisdiction at sea? Prof Cedric Ryngaert now addressing this question!

Prof Scovazzi took the irrevocable decision to renounce to his 51 questions 😅 and closed up the morning session! We resume at 2pm CET! 🔥

We're about to go live again for our afternoon session! An other great panel with Marko Milanovic, Violeta Moreno Lax, Lea Raible and Kristof Gombeer Prof Anna Petrig chairing! Violeta Moreno-Lax @swiss_biscuit

A provocative thought by Prof Milanovic: there's nothing special with the sea to justify a special understanding of jurisdiction at sea! 🔥🔥 Tune in to listen to what the other speakers and the audience have to say about this! s.unimib.it/human_rights

Violeta Moreno-Lax dives into the functional model of human rights jurisdiction! Can this help build a more coherent and cohesive model of 'effective control'? Violeta Moreno-Lax

Lea Raible speaking now: the sea is special, but not for normative reasons! 🌊🌊 Spoiler: take a look at power over sources of harm and capacity!

Kristof Gombeer now: to what extent can primary rules of international law inform the allocation of human rights 'jurisdiction'? Followed by discussion!

A set of challenging questions from the audience and the speakers' answers just closed the afternoon session! We now slide into a deserved cup of coffee/tea break to then resume our discussion with the round table on 'The Way Forward' at 4.45 pm CET ! See you shortly!

We know this doesnt really look round, but.. our Round Table forward-looking discussion just started with stellar discussants! Natalie Klein, Marco Borraccetti, Francesca De Vittor, Dr Sofia Galani, Gabriele Goettsche-Wanli, Steven Haines, @PLeucci and Alexander Proelss!

It's been a long day, but full of insightful discussions to unpack the multiple questions and gaps regarding jurisdiction and #HumanRightsViolations at #sea! Thanks all speakers for joining, the audience for bearing with us till the end and everyone who helped organizing this!
