GNLU announced 5th Edition of GNLU Air and Space Law Academy [27th Sept. to 04 Oct. 2020], through its V.S. Mani Centre for Air and Space Law.
About the Academy
States are exhibiting an increasingly keen interest in augmenting investments in developing their capabilities and competencies in the realm of both air and space activities. Non-State actors, including private investors, are no exceptions to this emerging trend. It is becoming evident that a nation’s supremacy in air and space will define international relations in the years to come. Recognizing this potential, the GNLU Centre for Public International Law has conceived the GNLU Air and Space Law Academy (GASLA) as a platform for engaging in discourse on contemporary legal issues in the field of air and space.The first edition of GASLA was successfully conducted by GNLU in 2016, in collaboration with the Institute of Air and Space Law, University of Cologne and the Forum for Integrated National Security (FINS). Encouraged by the overwhelming success of the four editions, the V. S. Mani Centre for Air and Space Law (VSMCASL) is pleased to present before you the 5th Edition of GNLU Air and Space Law Academy (GASLA) 2020. The 5th Edition is scheduled to be organised virtually from 27 September to 04 October 2020.
