A commemorative plaque was unveiled on 27 October at the IMO International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI) in Malta, paying tribute to Professor George P. Xuereb, Rector of the University of Malta from 1982 to 1987.

The plaque recognises the former rector’s foresight, determination and contribution to the establishment and development of IMLI, an institution that marked Malta’s role in international maritime law education and cooperation.

The ceremony celebrated his vision, initiative and remarkable resourcefulness, which are reflected in the very building where the plaque now stands.
