Ten China-EU School of Law Chinese LL.M. students visited the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea in Hamburg on 26 April. They are taking elective courses at Europa-Kolleg Hamburg in April and May. At the visit, they got a guided tour by Press Officer Benjamin Benirschke who informed them on how the tribunal works and on the most important cases. "Is there also a Chinese judge?" student Liu Renhao asked and learned that currently, Zhiguo Gao serves as one of 20 judges. Students also got to enter the court room. The Tribunal for the Law of the Sea was established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and entered into force in Hamburg in 1996.
