Administrative history
Pacem in Maribus, meaning "Peace in the Oceans," is an annual conference that was first organized through the efforts of Elisabeth Mann Borgese in 1969. With assistance from the government of Malta, the United Nations Development Programme, and the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, the conference was created as a forum for discussion on the law of the sea, marine science, and the denuclearisation of the seas, to be attended by diplomats, international and national civil servants, industrialists, fisheries experts, oceanographers, economists, and the like. Since the first conferences in Malta, Pacem in Maribus has played a crucial role in the formulation and promotion of the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea and has been hosted by a variety of countries, including Mexico, Japan, Algeria, Yugoslavia, China, Sri Lanka, and Canada. Pacem in Maribus conferences are attended by delegates from the developed and developing world and are regarded as important events for discussing the world's oceans and the potential of its resources to sustain humankind.
