COCHA_BAR.indd 1 02/03/2012 13:57 International Bar Association the global voice of the legal profession

The International Bar Association (IBA), established in 1947, is the world’s leading organisation of international legal practitioners, bar associations and law societies. The IBA influences the development of international law reform and shapes the future of the legal profession throughout the world. It has a membership of more than 40,000 individual lawyers and more than 200 bar associations and law societies spanning all continents. It has considerable expertise in providing assistance to the global legal community.

Grouped into two divisions – the Legal Practice Division and the Public and Professional Interest Division – the IBA covers all practice areas and professional interests, providing members with access to leading experts and up-to-date information. Through the various committees of the divisions, the IBA enables an interchange of information and views among its members as to laws, practices and professional responsibilities relating to the practice of business law around the globe. Additionally, the IBA’s high-quality publications and world-class conferences provide unrivalled professional development and network-building opportunities for international legal practitioners and professional associates.

The IBA’s Bar Issues Commission provides an invaluable forum for IBA member organisations to discuss all matters relating to law at an international level. Advert space

The IBA’s Human Rights Institute (HRI) works across the Association, to promote, protect and enforce human rights under a just rule of law, and to preserve the independence of the judiciary and the legal profession worldwide.

Other institutions established by the IBA include the Southern Africa Litigation Centre and the International Legal Assistance Consortium.

The IBA Section on Energy, Environment, Natural Resources and Infrastructure Law (SEERIL) overview The Section on Energy, Environment, Natural Resources and Infrastructure Law (SEERIL) has a membership of 2,400 lawyers in private practice, oil and mining companies, international organisations, government and academia. The Section coordinates the activities of six committees, which aim to advance the development and understanding of the law affecting oil and gas, mining, power, water, international construction projects and environment, health and safety law. The United Kingdom Energy Lawyers Group is also part of the Section.

The IBA Latin American Regional Forum overview The Latin American Regional Forum covers all countries in Latin America as well as Mexico, Puerto Rico and Spanish-speaking areas of the Caribbean. The forum provides a focus for all activities in the region. It organises sessions at IBA conferences and in particular has been instrumental in ensuring that a Latin American perspective is addressed during relevant special sessions. The forum is closely affiliated with the North American Regional Forum as the regions are geographically proximate and share many issues.
