MIS -Modern International Law Studies

The Modern International Study (MIS) was established as a non-governmental, non-political centre for International Law Studies in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates in 2011. International law, perhaps more than any other scientific discipline, is global in nature. Although once the product of the practice of the Western countries, it is today a truly international system characterized by the active participation of all the countries of the world and other international actors. Despite this all-embracing feature, the greater part of the research on international law is being carried out in Europe and North America. Also, the majority of academic events, training courses and scientific meetings relating to international law take place in Western countries. The purpose of the Centre is to promote the research and study of international law with particular focus on issues that are more relevant for the countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The Centre will sponsor research projects, carry out studies, arrange courses and organize international seminars and conferences. Its headquarter is in Dubai Knowledge Village.
