The LGBTQIA+ Persons in International Law interest group was founded to support and further the careers of LGBTQIA+ persons in international law. It will accomplish this by promoting both existing and burgeoning professionals in the field of international law; facilitating networking and discussion between said professionals; advocating for the advancement and respect of LGBTQIA+ rights within the context of international law; supporting the compilation of relevant academic resources of value to members; promoting public and practitioner awareness about the importance of international law with special regard to issues of sexuality, gender identity, and other related topics; and providing information on developments, events, opportunities, programs, and publications of interest to members..
