The International Maritime Organization held an event to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The event addressed topics related to the forty years of cooperation between IMO and UNCLOS, and IMO’s contribution to the implementation of the Convention. Gillian Grant, Canada’s Alternate Representative to the IMO and Chair of the Legal Committee recognized UNCLOS as a living instrument that needs to evolve to better address fraudulent registrations and Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS).
