This archive summarises a previous version of the website of the Australian and New Zealand Society of International Law (ANZSIL), a learned society for people working in international law in Australia and New Zealand. The pages below are plain-language summaries of what the previous site covered.
What the society was for
The society was set up in 1992. By its own description it aimed to develop and promote the discipline of international law, support its teaching, give academics, government lawyers, non-government organisations, students and practitioners a place to discuss research and practice, raise public understanding of international law, and work with other bodies toward those aims.
Its main activity was a yearly conference, held in Canberra or Wellington in turn and, in some years, in Melbourne or online. Membership was open to anyone with an interest in the field, including practitioners, academics, government officials, civil society organisations and students.
