Malta should be at the centre of the development of international maritime law, says Ann Fenech, the first Maltese to be elected to the executive council of the Comite Maritime International.

What is the function of the Comite Maritime International? The website of the Comite Maritime International (CMI) states that: "It is a non-governmental, not-for-profit international organisation established in Antwerp in 1897, the object of which is to contribute by all appropriate means and activities to the unification of maritime law in all its aspects."
