PASAY CITY, 07 December 2021 – The Department of Foreign Affairs, led by the Office of Treaties and Legal Affairs, in partnership with the Australian Embassy in the Philippines, Australia Awards, and the Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security (ANCORS), conducted the sixth installment of the Law of the Sea Course for government officials on 15-26 November 2021.
