Attorney General Uz Ahmed Usham has delivered the Maldives' oral submissions at the advisory proceedings of the International Court of Justice on the Obligations of States in respect to Climate Change. “We refuse to put in place any policy of forced relocation, or to accept relocation as an inevitability," he said.
“We should not be forced to choose between funding seawalls or funding our children’s education or investing in clean water, but that is the reality we currently face.”
