We seek to build a world of peace, humanity and respect for the rule of law - a world just is accessible to everyone irrespective of their social background - and importantly where there is mutual trust and respect between people of different cultures.
The events and activities of NILS comprise of a large variety of projects as well as academic and professional events that are organised to meet the vision of NILS and in order to provide our members, opportunities to enhance their skills and to interact with each other. Furthermore NILS provides law students opportunities to develop their skills through our traineeship programme as well as through our publications. Finally working in the NILS Network prepares active members of NILS for their professional life through international experience gained through the network.
We find strength in the diversity of our network and the mutual respect between members from across different countries. We find strength in the leadership qualities that all our members have and the shared idea of a just world for all.
How much ever we work, we cannot achieve everything alone. We believe in building partnerships and to work together with such other organisations who share the ideals of NILS - because we believe in cooperation and different perspectives.
