On 11 May 2024, Dr Danae Azaria was appointed Chair of the International Law Association (ILA) Committee on Submarine Cables and Pipelines under International Law, by the Executive Council of the ILA on the basis of the nomination by the ILA’s Director of Studies.

The ILA Committee on Submarine Cables and Pipelines in International Law was established in 2018 under the chairmanship of Captain J Ashley Roach. To date, it has produced two reports. The Committee examines how international law, and especially but not exclusively, the law of the sea, regulates this infrastructure, which is critical for telecommunications security as well as energy security. Currently, the Committee examines the environmental and security aspects of the legal framework that regulates this infrastructure.
