Indigenous Peoples: Issues in International and Australian Law
About the International Law Association
The International Law Association (ILA) was founded in Brussels in 1873. Its objectives include the study, elucidation and advancement of international law, public and private, the study of comparative law, the making of proposals for the solution of conflicts of law and for the unification of law, and the furthering of international understanding and goodwill. The ILA has consultative status, as an international non-governmental organisation, with a number of the United Nations specialised agencies. An Australian Branch of the ILA was formed in 1959. The Branch is active in organising conferences, seminars and workshops on a wide range of international law topics.
