Vision
AIDA is a non-profit making international association, formed in 1960, to promote and develop at an international level, collaboration between members across as many jurisdictions as possible with a view to increasing the study, knowledge and understanding of international and national insurance law and related matters.
AIDA’s aim is to consider and through its collaborative efforts from time to time to propose measures which may allow the insurance industry and those affecting their business most fairly and effectively to conduct and supervise insurance business as well as to resolve insurance disputes and, where appropriate, to harmonise national and international insurance laws.

- To participate, when considered useful, in international meetings, such as congresses, conferences, symposia, round-table events, etc. in co-operation with other bodies concerned. To promote the issuing of periodicals reporting on the activities of AIDA, its National Sections and upon developments in insurance law (legislation, jurisprudence, doctrine);
- To organise AIDA World Congresses, generally every four years, and through AIDA regional groupings and National Sections more frequent events and to publish papers and materials monographs with insurance law and related matters.
