About us
Who we are
The British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL) is the foremost independent research and discussion body in the United Kingdom in its field, and one of the leading such bodies in the world. BIICL was created over 50 years ago as an independent research body and charity committed to the understanding, development and practical application of international and comparative law, and the rule of law. Through its high quality legal research, its diverse range of events, training, seminars and conferences and its world-renowned publications, it is at the forefront of research and discussions on contemporary issues of international and comparative law.
The Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law (Bingham Centre) is a specialist centre within BIICL, dedicated to rule of law issues.
The Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre is a consortium of six academic organisations led by the Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law (part of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL)) and is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) on behalf of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).
