Legal Conferences

IMO Legal Conferences use the document symbol LEG/CONF.x  (x = Conference number).  LEG/CONF.1 does not exist.  The INTERNATIONAL LEGAL CONFERENCE ON MARINE POLLUTION DAMAGE, 1969 is referred to as LEG/CONF.  Subsequent Legal Conferences are numbered from 2 onward.   The list of documents distributed for conferences is issued as an Information Paper (INF). 

Documents for LEG/CONF.11 through LEG/CONF.17 are accessible via the link to the conference documents in IMODOCS, the repository of IMO meeting documents from 2000 onward.  Registration is required to access IMODOCS.   Register for an IMO Web Account here.
