ASSOCIATION OF ATTENDERS AND
ALUMNI OF
THE HAGUE ACADEMY
OF INTERNATIONAL LAW CONGRESS,
APRIL, 1961.
The Hague Academy of International Law is
probably the largest and best known body for the
study of International Law in the world.
It was
founded under the auspices of the League of Nations,
and its lecturers are drawn from the most dis
tinguished
international
lawyers and diplomats,
university lecturers and legal advisers to international
institutions and government departments.
The
Academy's Association of Attenders and Alumni
includes the Academy's most distinguished lecturers
and attenders from all over the world.
This year the Association's annual Congress is
being held in Dublin on 24th-29th April and is a
unique and important occasion for Irish lawyers.
The general subject of the congress is "The New
State in International Law", and two of the lecturers
are being given by the Hon. Mr. Justice O'Dalaigh
and Dr. S. Ehler of University College, Dublin. The
congress gives a great opportunity to members of the
legal profession to meet their colleagues from abroad,
both at the working sessions of the congress and
socially outside them. The visiting delegates are being
received by An t-Uachtaran, Mr. de Valera.
Associate membership of the congress is open to all
members of the legal profession and their wives who
would be interested in meeting any of the foreign
delegates or in attending any of the functions of the
Congress. The Associate membership fee of
£i,
should be sent to the Treasurer, Miss Neasa M.
Gibbons, at 16 Dollymount Avenue, Clontarf, Dublin
