Public international law
General Meetings Texts and Documents Links Contacts Français	In a political climate which encourages interdependence between states, international law is constantly developing, and is increasingly becoming a key factor in the organisation of inter-state relations.  The Council of Europe is accordingly working to co-ordinate its member states' activities in this field. The Council of Europe does it through its Committee of Legal Advisers on Public International Law (CAHDI), an intergovernmental committee which brings together the Legal Advisers of the Ministers for foreign affairs of the forty-three member States of the Council of Europe as well as of a significant number of observer States and Organisations. In this site you will be able to find out about the CAHDI, its structure, composition, functioning, as well as its activities including adopted texts, publications and unrestricted working documents.
