ASIL Reports on International Organizations  Welcome to ASIL's Reports on International Organizations - ASIL RIO. The Reports are a production of ASIL's Interest Group on International Organizations. Each report is written by an Interest Group member, many of whom work in and with the organizations about which they write. These biannual reports are intended to highlight the work of IOs -- both regional and subject-specific -- whose actions are not well-known to international lawyers. Many electronic resources now exist giving updates on legal developments at organizations such as the United Nations, the European Union, and the World Trade Organization. Few, if any report on the work of the Commonwealth, INTERPOL, the Southern African Development Community, the United Nations Environment Program, and Pacific Islands Forum, to name just a few of the organizations we report on. We believe information on these under-reported organizations will assist international lawyers in two ways. First, the reports will make plain the enormous breadth of issues now addressed by international organizations. Second, the reports attempt to highlight legal questions that cut across the work of many IOs and will thus be of interest to those who study this area of law, though not the particular organization involved. As this is a new initiative, some aspects of the reports may change in the future as we iron out the kinks. We certainly welcome your feedback on how RIO can be improved. But we hope you find it an innovative and useful research tool.  Updated April 2011 Click here for a searchable index of keywords.
