produce socially relevant lawyers. The University also has the mandate
to promote legal awareness in the community for achieving social and
economic justice and to improve the ability of the public to objectively
analyse contemporary issues of public concern and assess their legal
implications. NALSAR has been unequivocally acknowledged as the Prof. (Dr.) Faizan Mustafa
Vice-Chancellor
leader of legal education in the country with its academic standards
being comparable to the best institutions of legal education in the
world. In recognition of its academic standards National Assessment
and Accreditation Council (NAAC) awarded it ‘A’ grade with a high
score of 3.60 out of 4.00 which is the highest amongst National Law
Universities.
NALSAR hosted the 78th Session of Institute of International Law (Institut
de droit international or IDI) from September 3rd to 10th, 2017. Established
in 1873, following the creation of the International Committee of Red
Cross, to promote peaceful settlement of disputes amongst States, the
Institute was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1904. The 78th Session of
IDI saw participation of delegates from over 65 different countries which

disputes; and is drawn from such eminent bodies
as the International Court of Justice (ICJ), The

Greenwood, Sir Antonio Trindade, Sir Kenneth Keith,
Prof Eyal Benvensiti, Judge Abdul Koroma, Judge

The tradition of the Institute is to hold its biennial
meetings in Europe. However it is for the first time
that the Institute has held its session in India and
