necessary knowledge to assist their countries to formulate comprehensive
ocean policy and to implement the legal regime set out in UNCLOS and
related instruments.
Upon
completion of the fellowship, fellows should have an advanced awareness
and understanding of key issues and best international practices in
ocean affairs and are expected to return to their home-countries to
contribute their experience to assist with the effective implementation
of UNCLOS and related instruments and programmes.
Fellows should be able to design, implement and/or evaluate specific
improvement projects in their home countries related to ocean affairs,
develop a core leadership capacity and have an in-depth understanding of
legal frameworks, methodologies and tools to further improve
implementation of instruments and programmes and to provide for their
effective enforcement in conformity with international law.
