The American Branch of the International Law Association is dedicated to
the study, clarification and development of International Law and the
advancement of peace, equity and justice worldwide.
Members work together on committees to issue reports, amicus briefs, and letters to Congress, federal agencies, the United Nations, and other international organizations on a range of current and evolving topics.
This conference will examine the re-ordering of the international legal order at a pivotal moment of transition. Shifts in global power, challenges to bedrock legal principles, including the prohibition on the use of force, and retreat from long-standing international commitments pose challenges to the status quo, creating both uncertainty and opportunities for renewal. As some traditionally dominant states scale back their engagement with international law and institutions, space opens to reconsider the global distribution and exercise of authority and responsibility.

Founded in 1922, the American Branch recently celebrated its 100th year of working towards the betterment of the world through the teaching, study, and development of international law.
We commemorated this notable achievement with our members and the international law community throughout the year with events and special projects, including a Centennial Gala in New York City on October 20, 2022 and a short documentary.
