Research Projects

  • In his Ph.D. project (fisheries access and international law - working title)), Valentin Schatz analyzes the public international legal regime that regulates access of third States to living marine resources within the jurisdiction of coastal States. A well known example is the EU's practice of concluding fisheries access agreements with developing States (e.g. in West Africa) in order to secure additional fishing opportunities for the European fishing industry.
  • The research project "Conservation of Marine Living Resources in the Polar Regions" is a project of the chair in cooperation with the University of Adelaide, Australia. It is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The project analyzes the international legal regime on the conservation of living marine resources in the Polar regions, i.e. the Arctic and Antarctic. Further information is available here.
  • The research project "The Ukraine Crisis and the International Law of the Sea" deals with law of the sea related issues arising from the continuing crisis in Ukraine. In particular, the Russian annexation of the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea has led to disputes in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. A particular focus of the project is on reviewing and analyzing the pending arbitral proceedings that Ukraine instituted against Russia under Part XV and Annex VII of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Dispute Concerning Coastal State Rights in the Black Sea, Sea of Azov, and Kerch Strait (Ukraine v. the Russian Federation)). Valentin Schatz conducts this project in cooperation with Professor Dr. Dmytro Koval of National University of "Kyiv Mohyla Academy" in Ukraine.
