Professor Owen McIntyre delivers Special Course on 'Convergence in International Law: International Water Law as an Exemplar of the Phenomenon' at Xiamen University, China.

26 Aug 2024

The course ran over one-week at the 17th Summer Programme of the Xiamen Academy of International Law, which is held annually at Xiamen University, China. 

The Academy was founded in 2005 by former International Court of Justice President, Judge Shi Jiuyong, and is modelled on the highly prestigious Hague Academy of International Law.  It has offered its annual Academy Summer Programmes since 2006, at which leading academic authorities, international judges, diplomats and other experts are invited to teach on their specialist issue-areas.  The Summer School ran over two weeks and was attended by 150 postgraduate research students, academics and practising lawyers from around the world. The content of Prof McIntyre’s lectures will be published as a research monograph in 2025 by Brill Nijhoff as part of the Collected Courses of the Xiamen Academy of International Law series.
