RSIL seeks to promote institutional awareness of international law both in Pakistan and abroad. To that end, it endeavors to improve the understanding within Pakistan and the Muslim world of the sanctity of international legal commitments within the framework of an international legal community. Greater awareness of international law improves the development of international policy and helps Pakistan remain compliant with its international commitments, thus solidifying its reputation as a responsible member of the international community. In this regard, RSIL provides systematic capacity building for young lawyers, government officials and media personnel. RSIL seeks to encourage rationality in presenting political positions by highlighting the legal nuances of a situation and to provide an academic and non-biased analysis on issues of international law. RSIL intends to develop an extensive network beyond Pakistan of similar domestic and international organizations that are like-minded in vision and work. The current capabilities of RSIL are a testament to continuing success and enhanced recognition in Pakistan. RSIL's team is comprised of a dedicated staff of Research Fellows, Research Associates and interns. Their dedication, perseverance and hard work promote and expand RSIL's visibility and acceptance within academic and legal circles in Pakistan.
