The International Law Association (ILA) is a non-profit organization based in Great Britain that — according to its constitution — promotes "the study, clarification and development of international law" and "the furtherance of international understanding and respect for international law".[1]

The ILA was founded in Brussels in 1873 and its present-day headquarters are in London. It holds biennial (once in 2 years) conferences and releases reports of the same for use of the international community. Members as well as outsiders are allowed to participate in the conference, at a cost. The ILA maintains several committees and study groups that analyze specific facets of international law. The findings of these groups are distributed to its members several times a year.

There have been 75 conferences of ILA so far.

Branches

The ILA operates through autonomous branches representing individual states or regional areas. There are currently 62 branches.[2]
