Welcome
The Indo-Pacific Association of Law, Medicine and Science (INPALMS) was inaugurated on 16th August 1986 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, during the International Congress. The Constitution was adopted, office bearers and council elected and the location of the Secretariat was decided in order to cater to the needs and coordinate activities of international and individual members. A Newsletter is circulated. The proceedings of most of the congress were published.

The triannual international meeting is hosted by countries in the Indo-Pacific and the venue is decided at the General Meeting of INPALMS held during the congress. The Congress in Sri Lanka was called the 2nd Congress on Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences, to give recognition to the 1st Asian Pacific Congress held in 1983 in Singapore.

India, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan and Australia followed. Each Congress was accomplished by an Organizing Committee headed by the Chairman, with support from the respective national organizations of the host country.

Every Congress had a similar basic structure, yet each differed necessarily, due to the diversity of culture and practices that proved to be so fruitful when it came to the Academic Sessions as well as Social Programmes.

Past President, INPALMS
