EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF INTERNATIONAL LAW (ESIL)

ESIL was founded in 2001, in response to a need for a general European network that brings together European international lawyers and to develop deeper understanding among all of those working in the field of international law, be they government officials, diplomats, legal advisors in international organizations, academics, or practising lawyers. ESIL aims to contribute to the rule of law in international relations and to promote the study of public international law.

Membership of ESIL is open to all those with an interest in international law and in contributing to the realisation of the goals of the Society. No limitations of nationality or qualification as to professional or scholarly status apply. For more information or to join the Society please visit ESIL.
