Abstract:
The centre for International Law is the successor of the International Law department, and originates from the merge of three former institutes (1990s): the Centre for the Study of the Law of the United Nations and the Specialized Agencies (REVN), the International Institutions Unit (INRI) and the Centre for the Study of East-European Socialist Legal Systems (Centrum OOST). Since 2003, this centre constitutes, together with the Centre for European Law, the Section of International and European Law (IERE) within the department of Public Law.

The centre mainly performs research on the following areas:
  • law of the sea;
  • human rights and humanitarian law;
  • international economic law;
  • diplomatic law and the laws of Central and Eastern European countries.


The marine-related research focuses on the international law of the sea in general. The main interests include marine pollution and the marine environment, the international and European fisheries law and maritime demarcation issues. On a regional level, the main focus lies on Arctica, the Baltic Sea and the South China Sea. Finally, the practices of the Belgian State are followed closely.
