The Austrian Branch of the International Law Association (ILA) was first established in 1924/1925, dissolved in 1939, and re-established in 1947. It operates as a “Verein” (association) under Austrian law, based in Vienna, and is affiliated as a national branch with the ILA headquartered in London. It brings together scholars and practitioners for the exchange of information and opinions on all areas of international law. Membership has traditionally been drawn primarily from professors of public and, to a lesser extent, private international law, as well as from practicing lawyers. Their shared commitment to contributing to an association founded in 1873 for the purpose of “the Reform and Codification of the Law of Nations” continues to be the main motivation for joining and engaging with the Branch.
The Branch is hosted and supported by Pitkowitz & Partners, which acts as an institutional seat and provides a key platform for its activities.
