From 2002-2005, Dr. Nayar was seconded to the Lelio Basso International Foundation in Rome, to initiate and develop the Peoples' Law Programme.

In connection with this, Dr. Nayar was a member of the International Coordinating Committee of the World Tribunal on Iraq initiative, and was an active contributor to various 'Social Forum' gatherings.
