South Asian countries share a land mass that has the Himalayan Mountain ranges on the North and Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea towards the South. This land mass has a common weather system dominated by the South-Western Monsoon, common river system with shared rivers that flow from one country to the other, a long common coast line and indeed a shared cultural heritage.
As a result, these countries also have many shared problems which can be set right if countries manage the available resources of the region to their favour. For example, there are the issues of water resources that are excessive in monsoon season and deficient in the other months causing disasters like floods, landslides, draught and epidemics in the region.

The list of shared concerns can go on, and so can go on the significance of comparative studies in the domain of South Asian Legal Studies.

The Center therefore, focuses on the understanding of transitional justice covering the following areas:
