Dr Massimo Lando was awarded the Prix Daniel Vignes, ex aequo with Dr. Nicholas Ioannides, for his article entitled “Judicial Uncertainties concerning Territorial Sea Delimitation under Article 15 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea”, published in volume 66 of the International & Comparative Law Quarterly (2017).

The Prix Daniel Vignes was established by the International Association for the Law of the Sea (Association Internationale du Droit de la Mer) in honour of Professor Daniel Vignes (1924- 2011), one of the founding members of the Association and its first President. The prize, open to scholars of 40 or less years of age, is awarded every two years to the author or authors of one or more articles dedicated to a law of the sea topic. The prize was first awarded in 2014 and is now in its third edition. As the recipient of the Prize, Dr Lando has automatically become a member of the Association.
