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.
