Annual Conference of the Canadian Council on International Law

The canadian council on International Law held its Fifth Annual Conference in Ottawa on October 22-23, 1976. This conference represented a break from previous ones, in that instead of concentrating on a single theme to be developed through formal sessions, the conference dealt with two separate topics and, in addition to formal panels, an opportunity was provided for participants to take part in workshops relating to those topics. The two topics of the conference were, “The Third Law of the Sea Conference: Canadian Interests and Common Concerns,” and “Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Safeguards.” An attempt was made to draw these divergent issues together with a common theme of “Avoiding International Conflicts.”
