Description
The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is seeking applications to support the development of sustainable maritime legal capacity within the Philippine Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and other relevant agencies. The project aims to strengthen institutional expertise in maritime law, UNCLOS, arbitration, litigation strategy, and maritime case development. The initiative will provide technical training, legal advisory support, interagency coordination, and professional exchanges to build durable, in-house maritime legal expertise within Philippine institutions.
Key aspects of the project include:
• Developing and institutionalizing specialized maritime legal expertise within the OSG, DOJ, and participating maritime agencies
• Strengthening institutional capabilities for maritime case development and legal advisory functions
• Enhancing interagency legal coordination among justice and maritime institutions
• Developing a sustainable cadre of Philippine maritime legal subject-matter experts
• Strengthening the ability of Philippine institutions to effectively engage in international legal processes and multilateral forums
