About the Institute
Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL) is a law university of national stature in Punjab, India, which was established by the State Legislature of Punjab by passing the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab Act, 2006 (Punjab Act No. 12 of 2006). The University acquired the approval of the Bar Council of India (BCI) in July 2006 and is also registered with the University Grants Commission (UGC), New Delhi under Section 2(f) of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956. The University is based on a 50-acre campus in Sidhuwal village, on the outskirts of Patiala, and boasts state of the art infrastructure and facilities. RGNUL has consistently been ranked as a premier law institution of the country.
About the Centre
Centre for Advanced Study in International Humanitarian Law (CASH) is a research centre in the said university which is dedicated to research in the field of International Humanitarian Law (IHL). It aims to ensure that future leaders and opinion-makers understand the practical relevance of the subject of IHL and have a thorough knowledge of its basic principles. Whenever there are serious and large-scale violations of IHL, the law itself tends to get the blame. Such violations should, of course, rouse the international community to action, however, it is important to find out exactly where the problem lies rather than rushing headlong into changing the rules, especially as this is an extremely arduous, costly and unpredictable process. Therefore, the first and foremost function is to sensitize teachers, researchers and students of our University at Patiala, about the provisions of the IHL so that they may choose IHL as a field in their future research endeavours.
