The HNLU International Law Society is an organization comprising of students of HNLU and guided by Faculty members under the tutelage of Hidayatullah National Law University, dedicated to the promotion of International Law.

For fulfilling these objectives, the society endeavors to undertake various activities and this National Level Essay Competition is one such step taken in that direction.
