Tohoku University has launched a Center for International Law and Policy (CILP), with the aim of promoting better understanding and dissemination of international law, as well as helping to develop policy proposals.

​

The new center, which officially opened on April 1, will facilitate Tohoku University's long tradition of applying world-leading research towards solutions to social problems.

​

In recent years, the state of global affairs has become increasingly unstable. From military conflicts to issues of economic disparity, scarcity of natural resources, climate change and pandemics, the need for transnational diplomatic efforts has become vital.

​

Tohoku University believes that it is responsibility for itself as a research university, to contribute to the resolution of these issues, with the comprehensive knowledge accumulated in the 100-year history of its Faculty of Law and Letters.
