Maritime law and institutions

01The question

What this pillar asks

Rules exist for most of what happens in the corridor. Enforcing them is another matter. This pillar works on maritime and international law, UNCLOS compliance, sanctions and recognition regimes, and the institutional capacity that decides whether any of it is applied in practice.

Focus areas

  • Maritime law, international law and UNCLOS compliance
  • Regional governance, institutional reform and state capacity building
  • Sanctions, recognition and international regulatory frameworks
  • Policy recommendations for sustainable governance and legal frameworks

Outputs

  • Research reports on governance and legal frameworks
  • Policy guides for governments and regional organisations
  • Advocacy notes on regulatory and institutional reforms

Commission work in this pillar

Research in this area can be commissioned as a policy brief, a strategic report or a closed-door briefing.
