South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation in Law (SAARCLAW)

South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation in Law, SAARCLAW, is an association of the legal communities of the SAARC countries comprising judges, lawyers, academicians, law teachers, public officers and a host of other law-related persons, duly registered with the SAARC Secretariat at Kathmandu and awarded the status of a Regional Apex Body of SAARC. It owes its origin to the desire of the members of the legal community to establish an association within the SAARC region to bring together the legal communities within the region for closer co-operation, developing understanding, promoting exchange of ideas and dissemination of information and to use and develop law as a source and an instrument towards social change for development as well as for building co-operation among the peoples of the region.
