International Law Association (British Branch) (ILA)

Description

The British Branch of the International Law Association was established on 19 November 1947. The International Law Association was founded in Brussels in 1873. Its objectives, under its Constitution, are the study, clarification and development of international law, both public and private, and the furtherance of international understanding and respect for international law. The Association has consultative status, as an international non-governmental organisation, with a number of the United Nations specialised agencies.

Its members are spread among Branches throughout the world, and its objectives are pursued primarily through the work of its International Committees. The focal point of its activities is the series of Biennial Conferences, held in different locations throughout the world, which provide a forum for the comprehensive discussion and endorsement of the work of the Committees.

Membership ranges from lawyers in private practice, academia, government and the judiciary, to non-lawyer experts from commercial, industrial and financial spheres, and representatives of bodies such as shipping and arbitration organisations and chambers of commerce.
