Governance
Pursuant to the CCIL's Constitution and By-Laws, the organization is managed by a Board of Directors of not more than thirty-six members and no fewer than eight members. The by-laws also include a number of persons as ex officio members of the Board of Directors as follows: the Legal adviser of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (or a successor Department); the Assistant Deputy Minister of Justice Canada responsible for international law, the President of the Société québécoise de droit international and the immediate past president of the Board of Directors.
Directors are elected for three year, renewable terms from among the CCIL membership and shall, to the greatest extent possible, reflect the diversity of Canada and the geographic distribution and professional backgrounds of Members (including academia, public sector, private sector, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations).
The CCIL's officers -- a president, a treasurer, and a secretary -- are drawn from the members of the Board of Directors and are appointed by that body for three year terms
