About the Japanese Association of World Law
-
The Japanese Association of World Law (JAWL) was established in 1976 with the aim of conducting research
and engaging in related activities concerning world law and a world federation.
Its precursor, the Study Group on World Law, commenced its activities in 1965 amidst the post-war movement
advocating for the establishment of a world government or federation in the era marked by the advent of
atomic weaponry. The late professor TABATA Shigejiro, who published “The Idea of World Government
[Sekaiseifu no Shiso]” in 1950, served as the first president of JAWL. Since its establishment,
JAWL has annually organized conferences and published “The Yearbook of World Law [Sekaiho Nenpo]”.
