Originally the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, this is an international tokamak research/engineering project that could help to make the transition from today’s studies of plasma physics to future electricity-producing fusion power plants. ITER is based on the ‘tokamak’ concept of magnetic confinement, in which the plasma is contained in a doughnut-shaped vacuum vessel. The fuel (a mixture of Deuterium and Tritium, two isotopes of Hydrogen) is heated to temperatures in excess of 150 million°C, forming hot plasma. Strong magnetic fields are used to keep the plasma away from the walls. These are produced by superconducting coils surrounding the vessel, and by an electrical current driven through the plasma. The project aims to demonstrate that it is possible to produce commercial energy from fusion.

The International Trade and Forfaiting Association (ITFA) has updated section 5.2 of its guide to structured letters of credit, to clarify the case law analysis referring to the position in China. According to ITFA, the previous wording may have been misleading in appearing to suggest that courts in China would use a different position compared to other courts that have heard cases involving structured letters of credit.

The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS) has issued an advisory opinion sought by the Commission of Small Island States on Climate Change and International Law (COSIS). The commission requested that ITLOS give an advisory opinion on what the specific obligations of State Parties to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (‘UNCLOS’) are, including under Part XII to prevent, reduce and control pollution of the marine environment. The advisory opinion stated that greenhouse gases are destroying the marine environment and states are legally obliged to control them. The ITLOS also said that wealthy countries must reduce their emissions faster than developing countries.
