Four distinguished guests from Turkmenistan were recently welcomed to the University of Miami School of Law for a presentation by Professor Bernard Oxman, who heads the Law School’s Ocean and Coastal Law Program. They were invited to the United States under the auspices of the Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program, which requested the presentation. The visitors, accompanied by interpreters, included the Department Head and the Leading Specialist on Turkmenistan’s Presidential Committee on Caspian Sea Issues, the Counselor of the Treaties and Law Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Counselor of the European Countries Department of the Ministry. Professor Oxman spoke on developments in the law of maritime boundaries and peaceful settlement of disputes in the years since his visit to Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, both of which border the resource-rich Caspian Sea along with Iran to the south and Kazakhstan and Russia to the north.
