The University of Ghana (UG) Chapter of the In- ternational Law Students Association (ILSA) was only recently inaugurated at the tail end of the 2012/2013 Academic year. However, this in no way precluded the Chapter from organizing an interna- tional law related program before the end of the academic year. Accordingly, Ambassador Thomas Kwesi Quartey, a retired career diplomat, who is currently Ghana’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Af- fairs and Regional Integration, was invited to dis- cuss inter alia, matters appertaining to Ghana’s foreign policy and practical instances of Ghana’s recourse to international law. That maiden lec- ture enthused student members of the Chapter into asking questions about the work of the For- eign Affairs Ministry in its interactions with other governments and also about career opportunities related to international law in the Foreign Affairs service. In a country where the battle cry for gen- der equality is gradually making inroads in the field of education, it was interesting to particularly hear female law students ask about career opportuni- ties in the Ghana’s Foreign Service with a view to knowing what interventions had been put in place to achieve gender balance in the work of Ghana’s foreign missions and what career opportunities ex- ist for women in the Foreign Affairs Service.
It is needful to repeat that our Chapter is of fairly recent existence. As such, whilst it is impossible to chronicle a telephone directory of Chapter Hap- penings, it suffices to mention the plans UG ILSA Chapter has for the rest of this academic year.
Firstly, the Chapter is in consultation with the Is- raeli Embassy in Ghana. This alliance has been forged to take a look at the interaction between Israel and Ghana in the international sphere. In February 2014 there will be a lecture by a currently unnamed member of the Israeli Government/Em- bassy on the Use of Force in International Law and Humanitarian Intervention.
Secondly, efforts are being made to get in touch with the lead lawyers (on both sides) that handled the case of the seizure of an Argentine warship in Ghana. Our goal is to have a student interactive session with them to consider the many divergent legal views on the case. The seizure of the ARA Libertad led to a dispute between the two coun- tries. Ghana’s Supreme Court finally ruled inter alia in 2013 that the seizure of the warship was a violation of the immunity it enjoys under custom- ary international law. This led to the signing of an agreement by the two countries at the Permanent Court of Arbitration, in The Hague. The relevance of this interactive session will enable students
