ASIL Women in International Law Interest Group
ASIL Interest Groups are organized by ASIL members for focused activity
in particular fields of international law. Membership in ASIL is
required for membership in ASIL Interest Groups.
(WILIG) was created to promote and enhance the
careers of women in the field of international law.
WILIG not only supports women who are already in the
field in order to allow the development of their
full potential for achievement and leadership, but
also supports, encourages, and enhances
opportunities for others who are interested in
entering the field of international law. In
addition, WILIG works to promote awareness of gender
in all areas of international law. WILIG sponsors
panels and a luncheon at the ASIL Annual Meeting and
recommends speakers and experts on a variety on
international law topics. Through its online
discussion forum, the Interest Group provides
information on developments, programs,
opportunities, and publications of interest to WILIG
members. WILIG also recognizes the work of
outstanding women in the field of international law
with its Award for Prominent Women in International
Law. These activities are coordinated by a 10-15
person Steering Committee, which meets several times
per year.
