Institute for International Law and Justice
The Institute for International Law and Justice (IILJ) brings together the research, scholarship, teaching and outreach activities of New York University School of Law’s acclaimed international law program. The Institute is closely connected with leading scholars and research institutions worldwide. It integrates the Law School’s scholarly excellence in international law into the policy activities of the United Nations, non-governmental organizations, law firms, and industry.
The Institute’s research and scholarship is organized through three affiliated thematic centers and programs: the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice, the Jean Monnet Center for International and Regional Economic Law and Justice, and the Program in the History and Theory of International Law. The Institute also runs cross-cutting research projects among these affiliates, including work on global governance and accountability (global administrative law), legal issues in United Nations security and development operations, financing of development projects, international arbitration, private military firms, intelligence, and rule of law issues especially relating to states at risk.
