Call for Submissions | CIRIL Weekly, NLS Bangalore: Rolling Submissions!

About CIRIL

The Council for International Relations and International Law (CIRIL) is a student-run committee at the National Law School of India University, Bangalore. We work to promote scholarship and interest in the fields of international law, international relations, and foreign policy. To this end, we organise competitions, periodic lectures, reading circles, and symposia.

Recently, CIRIL in collaboration with the NLSIU’s UNHCR Chair on Refugee Law, successfully hosted a talk titled “Reconsidering Dignity in Theory and Practice” by Prof. Susan Marks, Professor of International Law at the London School of Economics, a renowned scholar in the field of international law and human rights.
