 Biography

Vincent P. Cogliati-Bantz joined the School of Law in March 2005. He received his legal education in the United States, Switzerland, France and Ireland. His professional experience includes an assistant Professorship at the University of Miami School of Law and a Robert Schuman scholarship at the European Parliament in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. Vincent Cogliati-Bantz has authored or co-authored various works on the Law of the Sea and Public International Law. He lectures on the Law of the Sea, International Organizations, European Union Law and Comparative Law. In November 2008, he defended his Ph.D. thesis summa cum laude at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva before a prestigious jury composed of Professor Lucius Caflisch (member of the UN's International Law Commission, former Judge of the European Court of Human Rights and former Swiss delegate to the Third UN Conference on the Law of the Sea), Professor Philippe Gautier (Registrar of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea) and Professor Marcelo Kohen of the Graduate Institute of International Studies. His thesis examines whether international organizations have the right to register vessels, aircraft and spacecraft and, if so, under what conditions. When the right exists, the thesis analyses the regime applicable to various means of transportation. He is now co-writing a book on the legal regime of straits with His Excellency Judge Hugo Caminos of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, one of the most prominent figures in the contemporary law of the sea.
