The ILA’s Tradition
In the work of the International Law Association (the “ILA”) and its American
Branch (“ABILA”), one can feel the thrill of the chase – as part of a complicated and
crucial enterprise of discerning and proposing international legal standards that
are idealistic and practical – suited to the growth of free enterprise, protective of
human rights, cognizant of the need to conserve our common interests in the globe, while
taking on board the claims and felt necessities of local political actors.
The ILA and its American cousin have two claims to uniqueness that underlie the
group’s great authority in contemporary debates about the path of international law.
