The Charity will continue to strongly support educational projects (such as the IBA intern programme) but with its much wider objects, will be able to support human rights projects (e.g. through the IBA Human Rights Institute) and provide relief for lawyers experiencing hardship (for instance, those affected by the Tsunami). 

IBA Foundation Inc
The Foundation’s mission is to engage in a wide variety of international charitable endeavors related to the rule of law, including continuing legal education and equitable access to the legal system and, particularly in more economically disadvantaged parts of the world, infrastructure improvements, competent legal services and legal services administration.   Since 1986, the Foundation has funded law-related projects throughout the world.
