The Institute contributes to public discourse
on IEL by its research and publications but also by organizing
various meetings, panel discussions and conferences on
particularly topical issues relating to WTO case law and
practice, organizing conferences, presentations, and other
discussions under the umbrella of its research projects.
Although Washington has enormous resources
and a large number of activities relating to international
economic policy and affairs, the IIEL is the only
primarily research-oriented "think tank" in Washington
that is devoted to the legal interaction of such policy
and affairs. Thus, the IIEL is playing a rather unique
role in the city that can be described as the "Mecca" for
international economic policy. This fact has been mentioned
to members of the Institute by persons who have indicated
the importance already manifested in this regard by the
IIEL's presence and activities.
