Centre for International Trade and Maritime Law

International trade law probes on the importance of trade policy as well as trade laws governing trade of goods and services across national borders. It is a rapidly growing area in the field of International law. Maritime law, also known as admiralty law is a body of laws, conventions, and treaties that govern private maritime business and other nautical matters, like shipping or offences and disputes. But these laws do not address the concerns pertaining to the field appropriately, as the Indian trade practices are relatively different from those foreign states. Also, under the Indian maritime law regime, there has been a lack of timely amendments and proper implementation and hence most of the laws are outdated and are not equipped to deal with modern complications. The laws are of extreme value and significance for governments, corporations and individuals.  Therefore, it is important to move with the pace of development in the subject by initiating bright and talented students as well as aspiring researchers to come-up with ground-breaking research this field.
