EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF INTERNATIONAL LAW

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.

LAUTERPACHT CENTRE FOR INTERNATIONAL LAW

The Lauterpacht Centre for International Law is the scholarly home of international law at the University of Cambridge. The Centre, which celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2008, is one of the specialist law centres of the Faculty of Law and is the premier centre in the UK for international law research.

The Research Centre for International Law was founded in 1983 by Sir Elihu Lauterpacht to provide institutional protection for the various academic and research initiatives, such as the publication of the International Law Reports. The Centre initially had no premises and very little funding but with the generous support of Mr Edward St George and others, a Victorian family house at No 5 Cranmer Rd was purchased and converted. With formal premises from which to operate, the Research Centre was able to expand its activities: starting the Friday lunchtime and Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial lecture series, encouraging scholars to visit from overseas and increasing its range of publications.
