Abstract
Third World Approach to the International Law is said to be a critical school of International legal Scholarship along with an intellectual and political movement. It is generally said that it is a “broad dialectic opposition to International Law” which generally perceives that International Law is only meant for continuous exploitation of the Third World through subordination of the west and this perception is somehow true if we look at the history of international law. TWAIL scholars have always tried to change the oppressive aspect of the international law through the re-examination of the western foundation and perception of the international law. This paper aims to present the understandings of the third world approach to International law in the modern aspect.
