The Indian Society of International Law (ISIL or Society), a premier national institution for teaching, research and promotion of international law, was established in 1959, primarily due to the efforts of the late V.K. Krishna Menon. It has indeed been a long and fulfilling journey for the ISIL that it has earned a pride of place among the community of international lawyers through out the world. This would not have been possible but for the hard work put in by people, such as Judge Nagendra Singh, Dr. K. Krishna Rao, Shri G.S. Pathak, Justice R.S. Pathak, Prof. Harnam Singh, Prof. C.J. Chacko, Shri.K.Narayana Rao, Dr. Anand Prakash, Prof. B.S.N.Murti, Shri C.V.L. Narayan, Prof. M.K. Nawaz, Shri G.V.G. Krishnamurthy, Shri Ram Niwas Mirdha, Prof. R.P. Anand, Prof. Rahmatullah Khan, Dr. P. Chandrasekhara Rao, Dr. S.P. Jagota, Dr. R.K. Dixit, Dr. P. Sreenivasa Rao and a host of others.
