| THE BRITISH INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE LAW (Biicl)
Biicl head office, in Russell Square, London, will be the venue for the Institute's Annual General Meeting.
The British Institute of International and Comparative Law exists to advance the understanding of international and comparative law, and to promote the rule of law in international affairs.
Its mission is to be a leading research institute of international and comparative law and to promote its practical application by the dissemination of research through publications, conferences and discussion.
The Institute was created by the merger in 1958 of the Society of Comparative Legislation (founded in 1895) and the Grotius Society (founded in 1915). The Institute's international law origins come from the Grotius Society, created precisely because the European war had nullified the work that bodies such as the International Law Association and Institut de Droit International had sought to deliver. Established as a 'British' society, its aims were self-consciously international: The basic organization of the Institute has been maintained from these early origins. It is a charity and a membership organization, with a broad membership of academic, judicial, and practising lawyers, together with companies and law firms. Under the Board of Trustees, specialist Advisory Panels oversee the work of the Institute.
