Centre for the Promotion of ​International Law

The Centre for the Promotion of International Law at Vinayaka Mission’s Law School (VMLS) embodies a vision for the future of international law, particularly in the context of developing countries such as India. The Centre aspires to be a beacon of knowledge and collaboration, to help shape the landscape of international law and foster inclusivity and diversity. In a more interconnected world than ever, international law plays a crucial role in maintaining peace, resolving conflicts, and upholding justice.

The first step towards a better world is understanding international law. Throughout its historical evolution, international law has transformed from a subject of peripheral importance to a multifaceted branch of law.

This evolution encompasses many critical domains, including public international law, international organizational law, investment law, law of the sea, international human rights law, cyber law, and international arbitration practice. Our Centre offers comprehensive courses, workshops, and webinars that help individuals, students, and professionals to grasp the fundamental principles of international law. But we don’t stop at understanding, we’re dedicated to advancing the field through rigorous research.

With its potential to influence the policy landscape, the emergence of international law’s prominence raises concerns about the developmental priorities of developing countries. The Centre aims to address these concerns, supporting the development of international law, particularly in the context of India. Our research initiatives tackle contemporary issues and address the most pressing challenges facing our world today. International law knows no boundaries, and neither do we. We foster international collaboration by connecting experts from different corners of the globe, creating a global community that thrives on cooperation.

The Centre for the Promotion of International Law at VMLS is an ambitious vision that holds great promise in shaping the future of international law, with a particular focus on inclusivity and diversity. Its foundational principles, aspirations, and activities indicate its potential to significantly impact the study and practice of international law in the developing world. The Centre for the Promotion of International Law aspires to transform the world by reshaping the pedagogy of international law, fostering a reality where education, research, collaboration, peace, and justice converge to enhance our global community.
