The International Bar Association (IBA) aims to promote inclusivity and diversity within the legal profession. The IBA Diversity Council’s objective is to promote full and equal participation of all persons in the Association, its membership and its employees, and to eliminate discrimination and bias within the IBA.

The IBA Diversity Council seeks to enhance inclusivity within the IBA by allowing everyone to be themselves; to celebrate differences within our membership and employees; and to value all perspectives, encouraging all our members, participants and employees to fully contribute to the objectives and activities of the IBA.
