Centre for International and Public Law
The Centre for International and Public Law (CIPL) is part of the ANU College of Law at The Australian National University. It was established in 1990 with an objective to focus and develop its areas of expertise on the relationship between governments, and between governments and their citizens, from both a domestic and international perspective.
The Director of the Centre is Professor Kim Rubenstein, following a distinguished record of eminent past Directors. The Centre's Advisory Board comprises members of the judiciary, the university and senior government officials.
