A diamond open-access journal devoted entirely to international law, published by the Centre for Legal Research and Studies. Free to read, and free to publish in.
The journal exists to examine how legal frameworks and governance structures can be used to pursue global justice: ensuring that fundamental rights, fairness and accountability hold up across jurisdictions rather than stopping at a border.
It publishes work on human rights, international criminal law and economic governance, alongside scholarship on the institutions that carry international law in practice. Submissions are peer-reviewed and the journal is published twice a year.
How rights are claimed, contested and enforced across borders.
Accountability for the gravest offences, and the courts that try them.
Trade, development and the legal order that shapes global markets.
How the UN, WTO and ICC make, interpret and enforce law in practice.
What we expect in scope, structure and referencing before you submit.
