Extract

The International Law Association was founded in Europe. From its birth it has been strongly supported by European jurists and organisations, among which we can, with gratitude, reckon those from the Netherlands as outstanding in number and quality. But equally it has extended its reach overseas. The United States of America and Canada, both of which have contributed so powerfully to the development of International Law, have for long possessed active branches, and, without attempting a total enumeration, it is sufficient to point to the fact that recent conferences have been held in Japan, Finland and Argentina. Australia is notably represented and there are many other countries in Asia and Africa which, but for currency restrictions, would be capable and anxious to take part in the Association's discussions and work.
