About the Centre for International Law:

The Centre was set up in 2014 with the goal to increase awareness about International Law. Its aim is to instil a passion for the subject by initiating discussions and conducting activities involving the various aspects and developments of International Law. It is student-driven and is instrumental in organising debates, presentations, and seminars.

About the Conference and the Theme:

Traditionally, the global order has largely been examined from a historical and political perspective, rather than an economic one. However, the focus of development, now more than ever, has shifted to increasingly take into account economic factors. As the world witnesses a minute-to-minute shift in the field of global trade and economy, new challenges emerge daily. The rapid pace of globalisation and increasing interaction between countries vis-a-vis their economic interests has given rise to a myriad of issues, which is where the ever-evolving field of International Economic Law takes centre-stage, as newer ideas are forged in this realm. How the field of international law evolves to accommodate them warrants a detailed deliberation on some of the most pressing issues faced today.

The conference seeks to explore and delve deeper into such issues and ideas emerging today as they gain ground, with the wider field of International Economic Law in the backdrop. Moulded around the overarching themes, each session looks at specific issues occurring in the current global scenario. Investigations into contemporary economic order will also be conducted along with studies into how they shape the international legal and regulatory regime. The most pertinent events in the areas of International Monetary Law, Trade Law, Investment Law, Antitrust Law and Dispute Settlement etc. will be at the heart of these discussions.

Objectives of the Conference:

To shed light on the implications of international law governing the environment and oil trade on the global economy;
To understand the modified roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in light of developments in the global economic order;
