The
Teaching wing of the ISIL was founded in 1964 to
further the objective of dissemination of knowledge
of International Law. It is a matter of pride for
the Academy that its post-graduate diploma courses
are not only rated highly in India but also through
out the world.
The Indian Academy of International Law & Diplomacy
offers the following one-year Postgraduate Diploma
courses in- |
| |
| INTERNATIONAL
LAW & DIPLOMACY |
A study of
the international legal rules considered binding
on states and other international persons in their
mutual relations is essential in the contemporary
world. International law is founded primarily by
state practices and custom. It is also referred
to as the law of nations droit des gens. Modern
international law is linked to the evolution of
the modern territorial state system, which emerged
in Western Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries. Some of its rules, therefore, selectively
come under the increasing challenge from the non-western
world, where many independent states emerged after
World War II. However, it must be stressed that
both of these categories of states accept and approve
in principle the traditional system of international
law. The Post Graduate Diploma Course in International
Law and Diplomacy covers all the critical developments,
from early 20th century till date, in the field
of international law. The course has been revised
on several occasions to incorporate the latest developments
taking place in the field of international law.
Paper I. International Law
Paper II. Law of International Institutions
Paper III. International Relations and Diplomacy

| HUMAN
RIGHTS, INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN AND REFUGEE LAWS |
Human Rights
may be said to be those fundamental rights, which
every man or woman in any part of the world should
be deemed to be entitled to, by virtue of having
been born as a human being. Persistence, vigilance
and living actions by the people themselves for
the protection of human rights are essential. Indeed,
an essential pre-requisite for progressive realization
of human rights is popular awareness of and support
for universally accepted human rights norms and
standards. It is in the hope of spreading human
rights awareness that the ISIL has started the Post
Graduate Diploma Corse in Human Rights, international
Humanitarian and Refugee Laws. ISIL's ten-month
Post Graduate course, which was started in the year
1999, runs in collaboration with the International
Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and National
Human Rights Commission of India (NHRC).
The whole course is conducted over two semesters
- August to December and January to April. The said
course comprises of three papers. The section on
humanitarian law touches upon the development of
International Humanitarian Law, Hague Conventions,
four Geneva Conventions, 1949 and Additional Protocol
I and II, 1977 and their implementation measures.
The section on refugee law covers the historical
development of refugee law, identification and determination
of refugees, 1951 Convention on Refugee and its
Protocol of 1967. A few classes will be devoted
to the topic - Whether India should sign the 1951
Convention or not. Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, UN Convention for the Elimination of all
Forms of Racial Discrimination, 1965 and UN Convention
on the Rights of the Child, 1989 will be discussed
under the human rights section. This section also
covers the role of the Indian judiciary, NHRC and
NGO's in the promotion and protection of human rights
in India. Reading materials and other relevant documents
provided by the ICRC and the UNHRC are more than
sufficient to cover whole syllabus. |

TRADE AND BUSINESS LAW |
Since the decade
of the 1980's, liberalization of national economies
has become a worldwide phenomenon. This has resulted
in an unprecedented growth in the volume of international
trade and cross-border economic exchanges. Until
recently, international trade was regulated by disparate
legal regimes, but with the establishment of the
World Trade Organisation (WTO) from 1st January
1995, international trade in all its conceivable
dimensions is sought to be regulated by the unified
and global legal regime instituted by the WTO. This
legal regime requires state parties to conform their
national laws and regulations to the prescriptions
set by the WTO within the stipulated transitional
period. Consequently, a national legal framework
relatable to international trade in goods and services,
and intellectual property rights is under a process
of revision. At the same time, a number of international
agencies and conventions, uniform law, model laws,
legal guidelines aimed at the eventual unification
and harmonization of disparate national laws and
practices in the field of international trade. As
a result, this area has become so sophisticated
and specialized that at times even business executives
and their in-house counsels find themselves at their
wits' end in coping with the legal complexities
raised by international business transactions.
With a view to provide an insight for the corporate
executives and their legal counsels into the present
legal framework governing international trade transaction
and to keep them abreast, with the legal developments
taking place in this area, the Society has instituted
a post-graduate diploma course in International
Trade and Business Law from the academic session
from the year 1999.
