Submarine Cables under National and International Law: An Overview




What can be a better way to wrap up the year 2022?

We at the Bangladesh Centre for Ocean Law and Policy - BCOLP are thrilled to invite you to a brand new episode (Episode # 4) of our inaugural webinar series. In this episode, Mohammad Ershadul Karim, PhD, Senior Lecturer of Law at the University of Malaya, Malaysia, will speak on submarine cables' national and international legal regimes. These undersea cables are like the blood vessels of the global telecommunication system. So, the topic for this session is super interesting, important and timely. The session will be delivered via Zoom on Sunday, 25 December 2022, at 20:00 hours (Bangladesh Time) and 22:00 Hours Malaysia Time. Dr Abdullah Al Arif, JSPS postdoctoral fellow at Yokohama City University, Japan, and BCOLP's founder, will make a brief introductory remark. Quazi Omar Foysal, BCOLP's Webinar and Outreach Coordinator, will moderate the session.
