The World Law Fund was an American internationalist organisation, founded with financial support from the Institute for International Order by Harry B. Hollins and C. Douglas Dillon in 1961 at New York City, New York as the Fund for Education Concerning World Peace through World Law. The fund existed to promote the United Nations and the International Courts of Justice through public education campaigns, in addition to offering scholarships and grants to individuals working in the same vein. The fund was particularly interested in using the mechanisms of international law to prevent wars, including support for such things as a supranational peacekeeping authority. It was consolidated in 1972 with the Institute for International Order to become the Institute for World Order (which was renamed the World Policy Institute in 1982).
