The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has no law specifically stating that the captain has to be the last one to abandon a ship, though the tradition around it makes it very shameful that Captain Schettino didn't.

However, international maritime law is irrelevant in this case since it was an Italian flagged ship sailing in Italian waters. Congrats, Captain Schettino. You now have the Italian "justice" system to contend with. See you in 50 years (or 48 with good behavior).
