DIILS OVERVIEW The Defense Institute of International Legal Studies (DIILS) is the lead U.S. defense security cooperation resource for professional legal engagement with international military service members and related civilians. The goal of DIILS global engagement is to strengthen partner nation legal capacity through activities that promote equitable and accountable defense and military justice sectors, civilian control of the military, enhanced compliance with human rights standards and international humanitarian law, and democratic governance. DIILS is a jointly-staffed institute comprised of Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, and Coast Guard Judge Advocates, as well as experienced civilian attorneys and staff. Our typical audience includes international military personnel and related civilians. The majority of DIILS participants are not lawyers, although we offer some resident courses for lawyers, e.g., the Military Law Development Program (MLDP I and II) and the International Law of Military Operations (ILOMO) course. DIILS accomplishes its mission in three settings: resident programs in Newport, Rhode Island (U.S.), tailored mobile programs delivered worldwide, and programs that bring foreign participants to U.S. locations, such as Washington DC, Chicago, Boston, and New York City. This strategic agility helps stakeholders achieve regional and country objectives by sequencing sustained engagements based on goals, priorities, and funding. Thus, DIILS can reach a variety of related audiences in a relatively short timeframe. 4 | www.diils.org
Commitment to Excellence
DIILS remains committed to providing unrivaled
subject matter expertise and curriculum in a manner
that respects cultural sensitivities and encourages
diversity of opinion. Over 200 adjunct instructors
bring their real-world military and civilian expertise
to DIILS programs. They are seasoned, uniformed
instructors and leading civilian experts from the
executive, legislative and judicial branches of the
U.S. government, academia, international partners,
and, in some cases, the private sector.
