STATUTES

Article V – MEMBERS

The association is composed of:

– active members;

– legal entity members;

– honorary members;

– benefactor members;

– life members;

– doctoral members.

Active members are natural persons.

Legal entity members may propose up to three persons to participate in the activities of the association. They have only one vote for decisions at general meetings.

Honorary membership may be granted by the board of directors to any natural person whose activity is oriented towards international law or likely to promote its development. It does not exempt them from paying the annual subscription.

Benefactor members are persons who pay an entry fee and an annual subscription.

Life members pay a flat-rate subscription paid upon admission as a life member.

Doctoral members are natural persons enrolled in a doctorate who are preparing a thesis relating to international law. They provide proof of their registration at the request of the secretary general. Once admitted in accordance with Article VI, they benefit from a reduced subscription and participate in the activities of the association. They elect their representative to the board of directors. They may not be appointed to participate in the international committees or working groups of the International Law Association. Doctoral members may become active members without going through the admission procedure provided for in Article VI.
