The first international law hybrid seminar with Universidad Nacional de Cordoba (UNC), Argentina, was held on 31 March 2025 in UCC

The seminar was opened by HE Ana Laura Cachaza, Argentine Ambassador and Professor Ursula Kilkelly, Vice President Global Engagement, UCC.

Dr Henrietta Zeffert, UCC School of Law, presented a case study on the Chagos Islands, thinking through the impact of recent political announcements on Mauritian sovereignty over the Chagos and the Chagossians’ own struggle for justice.

We look forward to deepening cooperation with Argentina and UNC. UNC is the oldest university in Argentina and a great destination for UCC Staff and Students.
