Greetings from the Jindal Society of International Law! We are a student-led initiative at O.P. Jindal Global University, under the aegis of the Centre for the Study of United Nations, and guidance of Faculty Coordinator Professor (Dr.) Vesselin Popovski. Founded in 2020, this Society is an initiative to provide a platform to young international law enthusiasts. The society is supported by its acclaimed advisors, and undertakes a wide variety of initiatives. The Society has various endeavours, and is seeking applications for various positions for its writing platforms. The three platforms, two of which are forthcoming, are as follows:

PLATFORMS

INTERNATIONAL AGORA: PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW
(Applications Open: Editor)

ABOUT: The writing platform, International Agora, aims to further the vision of the society by promoting meaningful discourse on the various subject matters within the field of international law. The aim is to create a platform where everyone who is interested in International law can participate, discuss and further promote this field of study. There is immense scope and potential in this field and we at JSIL believe, that the existing discourse on it has just scratched the surface. We hence, wish to provide an outlet to further engage and foster conversations that are novel, interesting and stimulating. 

INTERNATIONAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION MECHANISM: INTL. ADR [Forthcoming]
(Applications Open: Editor, Content Writer)

ABOUT: The aim of International Dispute Settlement Mechanisms  is to provide resolution of an international platform. It usually involves a neutral third party (institutions or individuals) to bring out a workable settlement between parties in a peaceful manner, such as the International Centre for Dispute Resolution. Over the years, through the evolution of treaty laws, various doctrines such as non-exhaustion have been cemented. Thus, if parties do not abide by signed treaties, it results in a growing need for having dispute mechanisms in place. The purpose of this vertical is to engage in more research and bring to the attention of students, the interesting work that is coming up in this area. Given the deficit in information, this platform seeks to educate and provide innovative solutions. It is a space for interested individuals to congregate, deliberate and discuss and come up with new solutions for the new problems.

INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL LAW [Forthcoming]
(Applications Open: Editor, Content Writer)

ABOUT: The International Commercial Law Vertical aims at furthering the vision of a global business world. We wish to create a platform that would help students engage with topics in the business field to develop their commercial awareness acumen. In this pursuit the vertical will have two broad publications: Short Articles and Research Articles. Both these categories would be dealing with different aspects in the field. The former would engage more with current affairs, while the latter will dive into the nuances of various theoretical concepts in International Commercial Law.
