The ILA's International Committees are established to undertake research and to prepare reports on carefully selected areas of international law (public, private or commercial). These reports are discussed and considered by the membership and other interested parties at the Biennial conferences. The reports take various forms: a re-statement of the law; a draft treaty or convention; an elaboration of a code or rules or principles of international law; or a review of recent developments of law or practice.

The Due Process of Law Foundation (DPLF) is a private non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Washington, DC whose mission is to strengthen the rule of law and promote respect for human rights in Latin America through strategic alliances, research, advocacy and outreach. Our vision is a Latin America in which civil society, using national and international legal instruments, participates fully in consolidation of the rule of law, and in which judicial institutions are independent, transparent, accessible and able to fulfill their role in strengthening democracy.
