The Institute promotes the international rule of law and human rights by its activities in the fields of comparative law, international law and conflict of laws, and in the fields of European law and Commonwealth law. The Institute's unique contribution is, as Lord Denning stated in 1952, in moving freely over the boundaries that divide these fields of law and bringing out the underlying unities. The Institute's location at the heart of the common law world and the financial and commercial centre of London, and between continental Europe and America, dictates and support this mission. The Institute provides a unique focus on the development of an international legal order, and also of the European Union and European Human Rights. It is deeply involved in the development of international commercial and financial law. Assistance to new or struggling democracies and the developing economies is a core task.
