YCAPS is proud to share that Executive Director John Bradford and Special Advisor for Education and Policy Annette Bradford participated in the 7th Annual Cushing International Law Conference held in Manila from 13–15 May 2025. Themed “Security at Sea,” the event brought together leading scholars, legal practitioners, and security experts to examine contemporary challenges in maritime law and naval conflict.
The YCAPS representative attended a series of sessions exploring a wide range of pressing issues including the legal implications of emerging technologies, freedom of navigation, maritime environmental security, gray zone tactics, and the law of naval warfare. The presence of YCAPS researchers at this forum reflects our growing role in advancing informed dialogue on maritime security and legal frameworks in the Indo-Pacific region.
