The Centre for International Law (CIL) is a university-level institute at the National University of Singapore (NUS), established in 2009 to provide thought leadership and capacity building in international law.  CIL works closely with the NUS Faculty of Law, which is widely regarded as Asia’s leading law school.  Although independent of the Law Faculty, many members of CIL hold Faculty of Law appointments and CIL and the Faculty work together on projects of mutual interest, such as the TradeLab Clinic.
